Only insofar as everybody that I’ve asked over the years has failed to find anything wrong with it. But no formal verification has been done.

Yes, it is safe, since we make sure to only use TLS with PFS.

No, the secret is stored encrypted on the server, encrypted with a key which only the client ever has.
