Shouldn't these eventually be visible in SOPs too, since that's a sanctioned way of working with COPs now?

LOP networks currently have a huge performance overhead if you are doing animation work that involves multiple deforming SOPs, camera moves, interactive tweaks, etc., mostly it seems due to time dependencies causing lots of unnecessary cooking in LOP networks.

Until that changes the old /obj workflow isn't going anywhere. That said, if you are just generating self-contained geometry, a SOP Create is a pretty good option, especially now that you can look through the LOP camera while working within the SOP context.

Yes, subnets are great! I use them probably more than a lot of people. If you do any programming, think of them as packaging little self-contained functions in your graph.
