Yes, this is just fine - and is probably best practice until there is
better screen reader support for the native HTML5 structural elements.
Just be sure to match the correct roles to the native elements (e.g,
<nav role="navigation">, <header role="banner", etc.).

Yes, but only because it should be "contentinfo", not "content-info".
<footer role="contentinfo"> is perfectly fine.
