Well now considering the price it is certainly worth to buy.

Well, I did get the OTA:

But when I tapped, "Restart and Install", it restarted, but the update failed, since I had custom recovery installed. I haven't got time to look around the solution. But I will post when I get to install it.
Update: I managed to update to KitKat after many hours of intense troubleshooting. Its a long story, but it turned out my front USB ports were the culprit. Due to which update was not happening successfully. As soon as I attached the tab to back port, it got success. And now I am on Kitkat.

Yes, I tried 3g dongle on the tab. Its part of the guide I wrote above. Of course its necessary for you to have WiFi for first startup, how else can you activate a tablet which doesn't support Sim card?
And 3g dongle used to work flawlessly on JB, but on KitKat its giving me some problems. I can use Internet through dongle in some apps, while not in others. I shall have to find a fix for this.

^^so its better to go for a WiFi only version to save money instead of 3G version 
also 3G dongles work in new Nexus 7 (rooting needed)

Well, a Wifi version will save you money. But I recommend it only if you are really tight on budget or want a truly VFM product. Since convenience of having the free port cant be matched by a dongle taking its space.
I have no idea about USB Tethering. But since it "Nexus", I am sure you can do it. As can be seen on this thread: [SOLVED] How do I enable Nexus 7 USB tether on Jelly Bean? - xda-developers. But as suggested by ankush28, you can also use your phone's hotspot.

Yes reverse tethering is possible !
BUT it requires app client to be installed on droid first!!!!
If its not even activated/initialised how you will do it !

+1. Also, i was amazed at Ipad's functionality as a wireless internet hotspot in anandtech tests. with display off, Ipad air lasted for over 24 hours with a constant 100 Kbps download speed while acting as a 3g to wireless hotspot. Amazing!

This has prompted me to consider Sim enabled ipads/tablets only on my next purchase.

Vyom, have you ever noticed screen-flicker (brightness-flicker) on your nexus?!
OP
Nopes. You sure it's not your brightness set to auto adjust? If it's on, then try disabling it.
And update in that cyanogenmod ROM:
I installed that as a third ROM on the tab including ubuntu touch and stock ROM. Will share pics later.
