There are bugs in Oracle RDBMS, as in any decent database. Oracle support usually does a decent job when working with them.

- RAC is not a replication solution. RAC doesn't replicate anything. Data Guard and STREAMS are replication solutions.
- RAC is a high availability solution. It's worth it if you need such high availability. Machines still do crash, for various reasons. If you need your database to be immediately available, RAC is a great thing. There are things that you have to know when managing RAC and RAC does make things considerably more complex but it is a life saver.
- If you have to ask the question, you probably don't need RAC.
