I think so, yes, and not really, but sometimes.

PRAM still stores things like system clock, IIRC.  OF has important things
like which disk/partition to boot from, and can have a systemwide password,
etc.

Extension conflicts ... for the most part, nothing is installed in /System/
except for Apple stuff and drivers.  So drivers are your big concern.
Other stuff can still get installed in /Library/, but it is normally
recommended it go in $HOME/Library/ so the system isn't bungled.
