jisho.org is just an interface [using](https://jisho.org/about) Jim Breen’s KANJIDIC2 and JMDict as sources, and is as trustworthy as they are.
As far as definitions go, yes. The only problem in my opinion is that sometimes it would be better to provide not definitions, but a short explanation. More as monolingual dictionaries do or how DoJG provides a summary.
Yes just keep in mind that words can’t always have a perfect translation and sometimes require multiple examples to truly understand the situations that you would use some words. However in general, jisho is where I got for translation
be careful with the sentences linked for each word as they are crowd sourced from tatoeba and anybody can write them. Quality of some sentences not always amazing.
I find [jisho.org](https://jisho.org) useful for noting which words are usually spelled with kana only. It has saved me from some spurious kanji memorization and from writing some phrases unnaturally or with outdated kanji. Especially if you’re immersing with something that makes unusual stylistic choices with its kanji/hiragana/katakana usage.
What’s a better resource than jisho that serves the same purpose
The kanji definitions that it shows on the right hand side are sometimes a bit sus if you ask me.
