Depends a lot on the style of Scala you write. If you write "Scala is a better Java style" (which is more what I do), it is not bad. If you write it as "functors and mondads are cool", it can be very hard for the other people to intelligently code review.

Agreed. However there is lot of "better" in the "Scala being better Java". It is not just nicer syntax. Even advanced features like implicit objects or abstract and path dependent types can be very useful and obvious at the same time, if used carefully.
I don't believe this is true, assuming your peers have had the proper training. As I said before we are one of the biggest scala shops and make heavy use of pure functional style and scalaz, it works out fine.
