There is not squid developer who continue the development for this patch.
The patch as is maybe can applied to squid2-HEAD but it can not applied as
is to squid-2.6 .

Yes, squid3 is more stable than squid2+ICAP patch, and squid3 is not
exactly beta, it is a step before the release.

Also ICAP patch for squid2, as I can remember, has some important bugs not
easily fixed without huge changes in the squid2 code.

The only I can tell you is that squid3 is better than squid2+ICAP patch.
Also I believe a normal release of squid3 is at the near future.
You can search squid3 bugzilla for the existing squid3 bugs and take your
decisions.
