I didn't try to recover 24 words myself but I found on their github faq page that Wasabi is supporting recovery of 24 words also:

Considering that a recovery phrase can be made up of 12, 15, 18, 21, or 24 words, it should be possible to recover a wallet no matter the length of the phrase itself. I was finally curious to check it myself, so I downloaded and installed Wasabi on one of my machines to check it out.

Indeed, the wallet recognizes phrases of all lengths and allows me to recover a wallet. I used iancoleman.io to generate random seeds for native segwit addresses. Here is the interface when you enter a 24-words seed. As you can see, the Recover button becomes clickable once the seed is entered/pasted:

Thanks, PMalek and dkbit98.  I'll do some low-risk experiments and see what happens.  Yes, I too am looking forward to Wasabi's new features when available.

In the meantime, for you more technically oriented folks, here is an interesting new article re coinjoins:

I could not find out either here or at wasabiwallet.io if Wasabi can back up wallets that have 24 word seeds.
By default Wasabi wallet is generating new wallets with 12 words and there is no alternative option to choose 24 words.

I one tried to CoinJoin 0.2 BTC way back when, and it did not work.  Yet, the below link (maybe there have been some changes?) says that Wasabi will support other amounts than 0.1
Bigger amount should work without any issue, 0.1 BTC is minimum amount at the moment for coinjoin, but new Wasabi release version 2.0 will implement any amount, even smaller than that.
Interface and other improvements and changes will also happen in new release, but let's wait and see

I don't use Wasabi but based on their documentation, they only mention recovery phrases comprising of 12 words and nothing else. But if you have the wallet on your device, you can easily check that yourself. Just try to restore a wallet and enter any random 24 words to see if the software even gives you an option to add that many words or if it stops at 12. The info I found says 12-word seeds and that Wasabi only creates and recovers native segwit addresses.

I can't give any additional information on the second question though.

Various wallets give you a 24 word seed for backup purposes.  I have used Wasabi to back up 12 word seeded wallets, but cannot find anything on those wallets using 24.

Also re Wasabi, I noted at their site it *looks like* their CoinJoin tool can back up multiples of the approx. 0.1 BTCminimum (eg, 0.2 BTC.  It also looks like if you want to CoinJoin, say, 0.7 BTC, Wasabi will then send 0.4, 0.2 and 0.1. 

I one tried to CoinJoin 0.2 BTC way back when, and it did not work.  Yet, the below link (maybe there have been some changes?) says that Wasabi will support other amounts than 0.1:
