We're currently looking to upgrade one of our products to make use of InfiniBand technology, and unfortunately we're running QFS which does not support InfiniBand. We're interested in exploring the idea of using XFS so I had a few questions I was hoping you might be able to answer that I didn't seem to find in the FAQ section.

XFS just needs a block device to talk to; the transport to the block
device etc should not matter.

Compatible yes but not supported or shipped by Red Hat.

See the first answer. (but anyway the the short answer is Yes.)

AFAIK XFS has never been ported to Solaris. It's only a production FS
on Linux & Irix.
