True but not only. More languages need stacking. Such as Hebrew or even
Greek for academic work.

Yes, of course. The font supports these things in its current state in
my sources.
CTAN version has---I would say---preliminary support since bugs have
been found
and needs fixes for these to work.
Fixes (unless more bugs surface (in which case I will report back here))
will be uploaded
with version 4 which hopefully will include Coptic for Academic (and not
only) use.
