How do you mean? Using it for haptic feedback is precisely what it's 
intended for, per the spec abstract: "Vibration is a form of tactile 
feedback."

You may have reason to believe the Vibration API is ineffective or 
suboptimal, but it's clearly intended for haptic feedback.

That seems like a reasonable concern. Also, how quickly can you turn 
off a vibration / haptic pattern once it's started, if the UI state 
has moved on (e.g. the user quickly skips to another option)?

Do you have another suggestion for haptic feedback? I guess you knew 
what answer your original question was likely to elicit, so maybe you 
have something else in mind?

I'm not sure what you mean here. (Maybe the same start/stop issue I 
noted above?)
