Most Caste strictures are less strict than the Rokari and in practice all sects fall short of the written ideal. However Castecrime is still a notorious offence and will be interpreted nowadays in the sense of double dipping, ie you shouldn't practice two roles at once. Most churches would adhere to this interpretations save the Loskalmi.
A Priest who was a former Knight can still use in weapons skills in a pinch. However his church may view this as Caste Crime if it came to their notice and probably demand some penance as a result.

I wouldn't really worry about the social status of mercenaries. The Rokari taboos on fighting are similar IMO to the RW church's prohibition on crossbows. Any pious Wizard who goes around excommunicating mercenaries at the front obviously wants to live forever.
