The seednodes most likely perform some function that regular peers cannot due to some valid reason I am sure. This is concerning because if the seednodes are offline then the whole network goes down, thus making the network solely dependent on a server admin. The ideal is to only require seednodes for the bootstrap.
This is false. You can join and bootstrap off of any given peer that is already in the network. It will take longer to initially populate the orderbook and trade history since it comes from other peers piece by piece but otherwise you can use it completely fine.
I hope this is the case now, because I know in earlier versions when the seednodes went down and I restarted my app it would not connect even though I had previously been connected to many peers.
It was always the case but you have to manually provide the address of a peer. You could open an issue on github to save a list of known peers locally.
