yea daily driving on air is not a problem. dont let people talk you out of it.

as mentioned, yes you get your car aligned at the typical drive height of the car.

as far as maintanence for air, its very simple. i always ran a water trap to help keep water out of the tank and bled the tank every month. only problem you may have in the winter is a valve getting stuck open but that only happened to me twice. if you care for the system and clean your valves and empty your tank on a regular basis, you wont have anything to worry about. i daily drove my old car on air through snow and all.

I would daily on air before i did on coils. speed bumps and inclines are too much of a pain to be permanently slammed. And I live in Oklahoma, hah.
