Yes, yes and not at all.

Not kid friendly very easily scratched , does not stay shiny without a lot of work hot items can cause problems acidic food turns it gray , I f you want shiny metal get stainless it will stil scratch but at least you didn’t spend 200.00 sq ft for it.

I think your aesthetic need be of a certain mindset? Expect some dings and a softened patina - for me it is rather the point of using zinc - but the scratches can also be buffed out easily, if that is an issue.
