Game will be upgraded to 8.0 regardless of having bought the expansion, so even Lv. 1-20 trial characters can be used to mess with 8.0 api. Though I guess there may still be some functionality which may require Lv. 111+ for BFA content to properly test, for which PTR will be upgraded to BFA eventually. That would depend on how willing you'd be to level a character from 110 on PTR, which is totally understandable if not.

My understanding was that there were still some functions missing and that the new map api wasn't yet complete by Blizzard, so maybe they'd just be adding more stuff in later. But I could be wrong and that's all there will be.

Nope your right.. they posted today the entire old map API was removed, and they are still working on adding things to the new one.
