No. TUIs do not work everywhere. They can break because of terminfo which I really don't want to deal with. I hate wasting time on such configuration issues.

Possible, but rare in practice.

Nowadays, you are more likely going to struggle with plugging your laptop into a 320Volt outlet than have a terminfo problem.
