I've used the Minis Handbook content enough that I think I would've noticed any disclaimer stating that it was "extremely uncore". If that's just a label you arbitrarily attached to the book of your own accord, then there's little cause to worry as you can just as easily attach it to the "Complete" series as well.
As for the Favored Soul, IIRC it has the same allotment of spells per day as a sorc. True, the FS knows a couple of extra spells, but that generaly just lets the character pick up an extra curative spell or two. All-in-all, I've found it to be a viable, balanced class--but it's dull as dirt, and without something like domains it's pretty much devoid of customizability.
I've got to wonder if it'll be revised in any way. I'm kind of ambivalent about it. On the one hand, the Minis Hanbook is a 3.5e book, so an update shouldn't be warranted. OTOH, I would like to see it tweaked to be a little less homogeneous. Combining spontaneous divine magic with domain spells in the way that Unearthed Arcana suggests is very cool, and having used it in my campaign I really think that's the way it should always work. I can say without reservation that I wouldn't be the least bit sad to see the stupid 17th-level wings go away (or at least become one among many options).
