Will administrators always see the real site?: Yes. Administrators bypass the screen by default. You can adjust which roles bypass it in the Settings tab.
Does this affect the REST API or wp-admin?: No. The intercept only runs on standard front-end page loads.
What HTTP status code does Maintenance Mode send?: Maintenance Mode sends a 503 Service Unavailable header. Coming Soon and Landing Page send 200 OK.
Is the plugin translation ready?: Yes. All strings use the ifelse-pages-coming-soon-and-maintenance-mode text domain and a .pot file is included in /languages/.

I tested this plugin in a local WordPress environment to evaluate its functionality. The installation process was straightforward and did not present any issues. I used the maintenance mode feature and it worked as expected, allowing me to display a custom message while restricting access to visitors. The interface is simple and easy to understand, which makes it suitable for basic use. Overall, the plugin delivers what it promises. It is a lightweight option for enabling maintenance mode without unnecessary complexity.
