Yes, occasional minor stuttering during use is common and usually harmless.

You'll notice "aberrations" if frame rates drop below 60fps. An adaptive refresh rate could help prevent these problems. I always use VSync and it works well with my 1080p 60Hz display and two GTX 980 graphics cards.
If performance drops below 60 FPS, consider checking Adaptive VSync for improvement.
They are inevitable. I experience dips at 59 consistently. However, I don’t notice any stuttering or tearing effects. It’s purely a matter of numbers and doesn’t affect the display quality. If your games support frame rate limiting, consider using that. I also recommend a ballistic setup like yours to achieve a G-Sync monitor—it’s highly beneficial. Personally, I intend to invest in a 144Hz 1440p panel once my budget allows.
No reduction below 60 frames per second using VSync will make the monitor operate at 60 Hz instead of 30 Hz. Adaptive VSync will turn off VSync when it senses a drop in FPS, but it won’t actually lower the refresh rate to 30 Hz. Another option is to fix the frame rate at 59 FPS (using Riva Tuner) and disable VSync, which might lead to tearing.
