Will that cause any side effects?

You'll probably have fewer biomes with sedimentary rock, but that's all. How much fewer depends on how high you make the minimum volcanism. I don't really know much more than that though.

Is there any way to transfer lye to a barrel within a reasonable amount of time? Whenever I make lye it just sits in the bucket in the workshop forever because no-one ever gets around to moving it to a barrel, even when I've reserved barrels.

Does mechanism quality affect the accuracy of stonefall traps, or do I really have to forbid all but the highest quality mechanisms whenever I make a trap?

You can see their quality if you expand the menu when  making the trap.

There are many issues with this statement.

This is useless when you produced zilion mechanisms. These lists have no filters at all.

The best way to separate mechanisms by quality I found is via custom stockpiles. 

Simply make a stockpile near where your traps will be, [q]uery the stockpile and change the (s)ettings to only accept masterwork (or whatever quality you are going for) mechanisms.  Then [t]ake from the main stockpile where all your mechanisms are going to. 

Then when you build the traps the higher quality ones should be at the top of the list.

I've dug into the caverns and found a cave swallow man tribe.
How should I deal with 'em?
They have five blowgunners, all with poisoned darts.
How can I drive 'em out without much trouble?

Cave-in. That is how I do that. Or magma shower. Or, if they are no threat to you, leave them there. They may deal with some Fun for you.

The magma sea's only a few levels below the cavern, so I should be able to pump up magma from there.
Or, I could send in the trolls.
EDIT:Also, why is there an underground shrub growing in dry soil?

When you breach a cavern you will occasionally have underground shrubs and trees grow on your inside soil.
