Zero Confirmation Transactions are not safe right now because a new transaction could be sent to be included in the block before the first transaction with a higher fee. I think in the future it will end up being made to be safe to accept zero confirmation transactions but you should stick to atleast 1 confirmation but more is better.

Yes, interesting article. I hope solutions for this challenge are coming soon, so that Bitcoin gets better for the mainsteam
