Not sure about it. Though everything is going fine some conflicts will be found over these, which requires some time to make everything go perfect with everything interlinked. Some platforms don't support bitcoin cash and also this has been termed as an altcoin. Maybe separate wallet is the best way to avoid unwanted problems during transactions.

i haven't tried it on bcash yet, but i have tried with with bitcore/btx and bitaddress generated paper wallets work just fine on there.

bitcore is a fancier bitcoin too so i don't see why not. maybe try a dust tx to a paper wallet first and check a bcash block explorer. that's what i plan to do.

i assume hitbtc is referring to bitcoin addresses that have already been used as bitcoin addresses.

Can I use bitcoin paper wallet generator like https://www.bitaddress.org/ and use the address provided for my BCC wallet? I have read that it's not possible and should be avoided.
The private key wouldn't work in BCC wallets or what's happening?

Please make sure that you're using the correct address while withdrawing Bitcoin Cash (BCC). Otherwise your coins could be lost! Bitcoin (BTC) addresses are not suitable for this.
