We're actively using it all the time. The lack of recent commits reflect
it's somewhat unchanging requirements.

It is transactional in as much as the ZSQLMethods involved rely on the
transactional behaviour of ZMySQLDA.

We work with Zope 2.8 and Zope 2.12 (and nothing in between. Don't ask),
so these are the platforms we intend to support. We have tests running
on Zope 2.12, but no production deployment yet. We should have one at
some point in this year.

I take it you meant ZSQLCatalog. That would be very welcome, though if
you happen create some sort of ZSQLAlchemyMethod and get ZSQLCatalog to
work with it, that would be also very cool :-)
