I have tried it today, and it does seem to work very well.

However:
      * It's possible to open multiple xfapplet properties windows while
        an applet is active. That is, the right click menu of applets
        doesn't get deactivated in the same way as is normal the case
        for most Xfce4 panel plugins when the properties dialog of the
        plugin is open. A possible solution could be to check whether a
        properties dialog is already open before making a new one, and
        if that's the case, present the existing properties dialog to
        the user.
      * Please add an option to expand the applet in the panel, in the
        same way as it's done for the Xfce4panel separator plugin. This
        would especially be useful for the GNOME task list applet, if
        one should want to use that (and I would consider to do just
        that, see bug #1287[1] for one of my reasons).
      * The task list and status area applets lacks the handle they have
        in gnome-panel, making the applet right click menu unavailable.
      * xfapplet currently claims to depend on ORBit-2.0 2.12.5. Is
        there a reason for this? I have ORBit-2.0 2.12.4, and had to
        edit configure.ac.in in order to configure xfapplet, and
        xfapplet seems to work just fine with that version of ORBit-2.0.
