There will be no further efforts to support fonts, languages or scripts in context mkii/xetex (apart from bug fixes) so using mkiv is a better option I use mkiv myself and it's quite useable. Actually, I've not been using mkii for years apart from format generation and an occasional test run. Mkiv will be beta for a while simply because successively code is been rewritten / upgraded and because it goes in sync with luatex development.
