Its just the reinvention of cement asbestos siding which was really
common in some areas 50 (or more) years ago only without the asbestos.

No. It can damage the material.

No.

Only where the ends butt against other planks, or against corner trim or
brickmould.

I wouldn't bother unless the existing paint is very bad... unlikely.

Get good paint... labor is the main cost.

Brushes work well. Paint goes on very easily... very little soaking in,
so it paints quickly. Rolling onto narrow planks seems a lot of trouble
to me, as you would then need to brush also. Just using a brush will go
pretty fast... it did for me when I painted mine.
