It really depends on the individual. You will see both but I think it fair to say more people use the kanji.
It won't be confusing because they mean different things.

Also is it true that あり得る is more commonly used than ありうる
|
That is a tricky question because あり得る can be read both ありえる and ありうる.
In daily conversations, you will hear ありえる MUCH more often. In more formal situations, I'd say you still see/hear ありえる more often. The general trend is definitely towards ありえる.
I hear ありえね～ said by all kinds of people all day in Tokyo. Means "That's impossible!" or "Not cool!"
