My Exchange 2K boxes work as I described, what version of Exchange are
your observations based on?

You can still get an endless mail loop when your OOF message bounces because
the other mailbox is full. You'll get a system notification (not an email
from the original address) that the mailbox is full and thus and you'll send
another OOF. As they are no-reply mailboxes you'll get another system
notification and you generate yet another OOF.

As I said before; your customer doesn't care that you are on holiday; the
whereabouts of a single employee shouldn't affect the normal business
processes. Delegating your work during your absense is the answer.

I think that depends a bit on the type of business you are running.
Sometimes it isn't practical for another staff member to intercept
your incoming emails while you are away.
