Not completely. As mentioned above, the file system alone does not fix the 4GB problem, you also need the updated scsi.device driver.
Secondly, SFS is better than FFS in many ways. I don't see a reason for not using SFS on the boot partition if you use it for other partitions.
Regarding SFS in general, it is still in beta state and there is not much support for it out there in the case of an emergency. So you should be prepared to make regular backups so that you don't lose much and can restore your data quickly in the case of a failure. I would make two big partitions and use the second one to store the backups.
