Whether we'd add a source mode to this experiment is hard to say - it really depends on the progress of the experiment. Ideally you shouldn't need to write source code to do most things - but I make no claims that the editor has reached that kind of state yet.

(Including a source editor at this point would somewhat defeat the purpose of the experiment - you can't really test how effective a visual editor is at covering user needs when it can easily be avoided.)

Whether or not the experiment ever reaches a point where it could replace the existing editors (on existing wikis) is even harder to say, since it depends so heavily on how the experiment performs. We wouldn't want to replace something that works with something that doesn't.
