what you mean by "only" rtpproxy is supported?

well, normally you go the other way around - what functionality you need 
for your service?

sermyadmin is good as it has the user provisioning part. You can use it 
for user and keep opensips CP for system provisioning

openSIPS CP has no support for LDAP.

depends on what load you expect (number of subscribers and service 
complexity) - typically it is simpler to have a single instance.

95% yes..some things improved, but the lines are still good.
