Can I use a DDJ-1000 SRT well with VirtualDJ in 2025, or are there any issues? Ist Stems 2.0 using okay with that?

The controller is fully supported so can't see any issues. read this to see any features or limitations of the SRT version.

For stems you'll have to use channels 3+4 (decks 3+4) EQ controls if you want to control stems that way.
Unlike it's brother (DDJ-1000) the SRT model has a hardware mixer.
Therefore it's not possible to control stems with the EQ knobs of the channel.

I use the sampler pads for stems, I think using pads are better than the eq.

I think it depends on preference.
Pads can quickly capture an abrupt change (on/off) or an automation (e.g. echo out by a certain percentage of last volume value with a certain period time), but knobs are more flexible for impromptu, variable stem use by increments (e.g. in a transition where you want to gradually reduce base/drums of the outgoing song, and gradually introduce the bass/drums of the incoming song).
To me, stems are the natural improvement of EQ with techology to be better - they get placed on pads as they are easier to incorporate there in all hardware cases, but with the right hardware to support it everywhere without sacrifice (internal mixing based hardware), use on knobs is very natural, and would do the EQ adjustments with more precision that frequency based in a lot of cases.
It's in this case the internal mode mixing setup of the DDJ-1000 (and the DDJ-FLX10 as the successor with the same setup) truely shines over the DDJ-1000 SRT (all 4 decks could have stem knobs, instead of the outside stem, insode frequency logic, sacrificing outside frequency usage).
And now that the FX have been improved and sound a lot better compared to the onboard ones, the experience, effect-wise has gotten much better there too and is more comparable to a SRT (the common complaint against internal mixing based controllers when connected to software).
