Yes, since PVE 4.0 watchdog fencing is the norm.
There is a patch set of mine which implements the use of external fence device,

No, at the moment external fence devices are not integrated.
You can expect an faster recovery with external fence devices, at least in
simple setups (i.e., not multiple fence device hierachy)
