I have also filled out a BRFA on enwiki to replace all links, to avoid bot mess ups (I know there are some out there that will).

At any time in the near future will the old ts.wikimedia.de and tools.wikimedia.de (or whatever they really are) become invalidated?
tools.wikimedia.de will always be valid, but it will probably turn into a redirect to the new domain.
It is now turned into a redirect. Breaking one of my bots, btw. Check your code for any url pointing at the old toolserver dns, as bots aren't too good at following redirects.
Depends on how good your framework is written; mine for example checks for Location: headers, but I dunno how the Perl/python/whatever libs handle this.
