Do you think it's stable enough to base a service on, or am I better off sticking with minutely diffs?

The minutely diffs are used by enough services including OSMF hosted ones that you can be fairly confident that any stoppages will be found and fixed quickly, but I'm not sure the same is true for streaming diffs.

The pgsnapshot example would work from the shell, but do you have any examples for an unattened server?

Also, what's the best way to switch to streaming replication from diffs, and the reverse?
