Yes and no. I built an app for a client on top of Google Fusion tables, which is nearly the same thing. It was acknowledged that the API could change (indeed it did mid-way through). Nothing is constant, but some things are more constant than others. You have to work out what's suitable on a case-by-case basis I think.
