I like the design with open and have no issues with it implicitly
meaning public. After a little confabulation I also believe the
original intent can be achieved by allowing subclassing to be open and
method overriding to be sealed by default, thus providing ground for
composition with no replacing of behaviour as exemplified in the
proposal, so I have no issues with it as long as methods are sealed by
default.

As for the openness of overriden methods, I still believe there should
be a way other than final to reseal the method. Sure there are means
to implement the same without it but not as elegantly IMO.

Yes.

No.

I've read the proposal and discussed the issue a lot on the threads.
