So after you do this, is it paintable? Or is there a lot of maintenance to be done before painting?

For the most part, no. You will gouge the ceiling in a few spots at minimum and many times once the popcorn is removed you will see why they used it in the first place----to hide less than ideal finishing work when it came to the skim coats.

Chances are you will have to skim some areas, if not the entire ceiling to get good results before priming and painting.

It depends on your ceiling and the finish where the sheets of Sheetrock meet. I had a guy remove the popcorn in a house. We had no issues, painted right over the Sheetrock and it looked great.
