All false.

The serial port is a valid port (on both cRio's), there were no 2011 rules prohibiting its use.

It's available in code as a standard VISA serial port with WPI wrapper in LabVIEW. I would assume it's available in other languages similarly.

You would have to flip the Console Out DIP switch, but that's not very hard to do.
