How risky would it be to install previously used Ford OEM non-adjustable hollow lifters?

Is there a way of telling if they are too worn out to keep using?

Should they be flat across the bottom, concave or convex?

Can they be used ONLY with the original Ford cam that came with the engine at time of original factory engine assembly?

Or, can used lifters be used with another used cam?

Just curious.
