In my experience bed lining the floors is really no different than just taking the carpet out, other than looks. I would like to get a set of bedtread as well. Then, when the interior is covered in mud you could simply take out the rubber flooring and most of the mess would be done. Whatever is left behind you could then power wash. It's always a huge pain in the ass power washing the interior out of my jeep.

I've never heard anyone else complain about it. Just my experience.
The liner has a smell?

I've run carpetless, the floor is darn hot in the summer.

My alternative : With two slices, the 1-peice 4-door carpet can be cut into 3 re-installable pieces. My JK has been wet a number of times, I made a knife cut just in front of the front seats, and they pull out.

When dripping wet, I leave the 3 pieces to bake in the sun for a day, and re-install. I have the Tuffy underseat drawer and the carpet can still be tucked back in.

I replaced my carpet with the BedTred Kit from Bedbug. Worked great and it was easier and cleaner install with the front seats out. With any jeep noise I just turn up the stereo. But really did not notice a difference.

Yes. Hard to notice in a truck bed because it's not enclosed. With my top on my JK it was bad.

I have had Bedtread about three years ago, and love it. Didn't really notice much of a noise difference but I run without doors and top most of the time.

My liner does not have a smell. It did initially for a week when it first got sprayed but no issues since. It's to be expected. I wouldn't worry about it.

Here's some pictures of my Rhino Lined sport bars and interior. I had a little smell for about a week. Not to bad, just aired out the Jeep on a sunny day and all was good.
