Yes.

We are starting to use it locally as Stretch backport and I have not
seen issues.

1. Upgrade from virtuoso-opensource-6.1 does not work
2. Uses libssl1.0-dev instead of libssl-dev (1.1!)
I'm currently working on 1. in Git but I need HEEEEELP (sorry for
shouting but I need really help!) There was a patch originally crafted
by Sebastian Andrzej Siewior (in CC) which applied to version 6.1 which
was not incorporated by upstream (and its explicitly mentioned in their
docs and the configure even checks for ssl 1.0). I tried for days to
adapt the patch to the latest upstream version and also did some
progress. However, I'm not an SSL expert and would not release to sid
without a review by some expert. I'd really love if somebody would
activate that patch[1] and try to complete it so that the source finally
would build against libssl1.1.

You are welcome but as I said while the package is somehow working its
only half done regarding the usual Debian quality while probably
matching a local build of the upstream source.
Any volunteer is more than welcome to complete the work
Andreas.
