Considering that there are no official guidelines at this point (game is not officially supported) and that the very strong community keeps the game alive - are these units already "legal", on par with official units, or still not very much so? They are certainly not some random customs at this point, as far as I can tell. I understand that reviewing proces is very thorough. Thanks!

Excellent question!
There was never a time, even when Heroscape was in production, that there was an "official" tournament scene. It's always been something that local communities run on their own.
As for the C3V/SoV's presence in the current tournament scene, almost every tournament shared on this site seems to permit those units. There are some exceptions, most notably the Gencon events. But most tournaments are local tournaments, and among those, the C3V and SoV units are (as far as I can tell) generally accepted.
It's ultimately a decision that a local tournament director would have to make for him- or herself, for his or her own reasons.
