Yes, it's degraded wherever there's a BBL entry.  To my knowledge, *no*
upper layer, whether device mapper or any filesystem, uses the
information to avoid allocations in the degraded area or to rescue the
data precariously living there.  Last I looked, mdadm --detail did not
report whether the array has degraded regions.  You must inspect the
output of mdadm --examine for every member.

No.  The feature is incomplete.  The only mitigation is to turn it off.
