Hard to say without knowing how many bibs you have.

Regardless, if you're not using the innodb_file_per_table option, you
should be, as it allows one to recover space from individual tables
without having to reload the entire database.

Far from it.  At present, I've seen no issues using MariaDB 5.5 as a
drop-in replacement for MySQL, either on my personal development boxes
or in production use.
