Yes.

It works with 3.8.

Note that if you're using ZEO, you can use ZODB 3.9 on the server and  
use an older version on the client, so you use Zope versions as far  
back as 2.7.

Note that ZODB 3.9 is pretty stable.  We're using it in production. It  
is alpha mainly because Shane and I are still sorting out integration  
of RelStorage.
