The AFK issue is the same for all ships, though. A raven can fit a cloak and afk for 10 hours in a system jst as well as a force recon can.
And anyway with kali cloaked ships will be scannable so this point is moot.
The other thing, that cloaked ships can avoid camps easier is also true for our beloved vagabounds. It's not really a force recon only issue.

So lets hear from anyone who has solo'd a BS in any other recon than a pilfrim plz. 
An arazu can dampen any BS well below 10 km targeting range and a falcon..well, ECM.
The advantage of a pilgrim is that it can kill the tank fast with it's nos, the other recons have it harder to break it. If the target has a ratting tank, though, which isn't against the damage types the recon uses a falcon or arazu should not have much of an issue killing it though.

I know an Arazu can dampen and a Falcon can keep jamming them but how many ppl have actually solo killed a pvp fitted BS with them? Unless the BS is drained of cap they should be able to tank the damage the other recons can do as their damage output isnt great. The damage output on a Pilgrim isnt that great either but since it sucks the cap that doesn't really matter since its target can't maintain its cap.
"pvp fitted BS" != "BS"
Yes, solo against a PvP fitted an arazu or falcon will get problems ("problems" in terms of not breaking the tank, no it getting killed by it). But alone you usually go after ratters.
Solo the pilgrim is stronger, thats no question. But the arazu or falcon are quite effective in a more limited way, too. And - IMO - their abilities are more useful in groups than the amarr recons. The only really "bad" solo recon is the minnie one (although that one is highly effective in catching those annoying inty gnats which are quite common in 0.0).
Also, as solo "powerplayer" with high survivability the vaga is still > pilgrim. Can avoid bubblecamps due to speed just as well and has an higher dps.

Technically it is allowed, but considering that for example Sarmaul got his 10th warning (and permaban) for posting a killmail in general (where there is no rule against it) it seems to be kinda "flexible".

Although blasters wouldn't really be a realistic option if you use sensor damps.

Although admittably it will have problems against ravens. And there is the possibility of an EAN tank on armortankers, but for ratting setups those should not be too common.
