The real problem is that it’s probably too easy to stunt on. The bike is so capable, you could develop bad habits. If you start on something slower, you can build the skills properly.
Will the KTM 390 SMC R work for taller/heavier riders?

It's all about technique. A small bike can dance, if a skilled bigger rider can make it do that. And the SMC R has adjustable suspension, which you can dial in.
How much of a headache is maintenance on the KTM 390 SMC R?

It's all relative. It’s gonna be a piece of cake to maintain compared to a dirt bike. It's going to be a bit more work than a Ninja 400. Depends on your perspective.
Is the KTM 390 SMC R too much of a bike for a beginner rider?

It depends on the rider. If you're mature and make it easy in the beginning, you could totally learn on this. Stay away if you’re gonna be an idiot with the throttle though.
Will the KTM 390 SMC R actually be practical to use every day?

It's all about priorities. If you don’t care about having storage, comfort or being able to sit, it could work. For most people, a Duke would be more practical, but for me it would be the Duke, for sure.
