Yes. The "chamber" program has been expanded to support multiple CHARMM
stream files (assuming you set RTF and parameter sections in a stream
file for your system via cgenff). The "ante-MMPBSA.py" program now
supports topology files created with chamber (neither of these are true
for AmberTools 13). Furthermore, the upcoming chamber release should
support PSF files created with VMD.

Those are just different conventions. The cutoff only applies to the
van der Waals term (as PME includes the full long-range electrostatics
over all periodic images). As long as the particle density reaches
approximately bulk outside of the cutoff, then the long-range dispersion
correction will correct the energy and virial to eliminate the effect of
a cutoff and the net force from all particles beyond the cutoff will be
zero assuming an isotropic distribution of particles at the bulk
densities. For implicit solvent calculations, you should be using an
infinite cutoff anyway (as is convention in Amber).
