What grit is this stone?

As a disclaimer, I do proclaim this to be absolute. What I understood was that the stone, as it is ceramic is measured in microns. This stone I saw advertised as 3 micron which converts to 8,000 grit. I have included a link to share with you the conversion table. https://www.gessweincanada.com/category-s/11328.htm

How does this stone compare to Black Arkansas stone ?

I suspect it is as fine or finer than a hard Arkansas stone. I love mine. I still use a leather strop for the final honing which is probably overkill based on how fine the spider stone is.

Will this stone work on my Japanese knives at 62 rockwell?

I use this for my straight razor

So, I see some say it isn't perfectly flat and they use different methods coarse DMT, etc. to flatten it, so won't that "rough" it up too much?

I had the same concern as you so did not use a dmt diamond to grind the ceramic flat. The many tiny hills and valleys on the ceramic surface are very apparent after sharpening a knife because the tops of the hills get dirty but the valleys do not. But even without being perfectly flat the ceramic works well. It would be nice to do a side by side test to see if flattening the ceramic gives a sharper edge or not.
