For me, yes

I have a dob, so up the top of the tube

3) Once aligned, is the alignment stable (ie doesn't usually need realignment)?

Pretty stable if not bumped. Very easy to tweak alignment though.

4) Can I use the aligned Telrad to then align the finderscope? I have a
GoTo mount.

Not sure how you'd do this.

5) Is the Telrad better than a Red Dot finder?

Don't know, but I like(d) the concentric circles. I used past tense because I doubt I'll need it again as I have an Argo Navis. Not sure why you'd need it with a goto? It's also not that useful in suburban skies IMO.
I might sell mine as I doubt I'll use it again.
