This is what is in the headers of mail sent from my mail client (KMail):-

Looks fine to me. Nothing wrong with quoted-printable.
If you happen to read in non-MIME-aware software then it degrades very badly. Yes, such software is still being actively used.
8bit is too limited for internationalised messages hence why the world is moving on.
This is incorrect. QP is no more expressive than 8bit. It's the charset that you're thinking of there.
Frankly QP is rather silly in a world composed almost entirely of 8-bit clean links.
