Is 3D traffic available yet?

How do you mean?  If you have the latest version of iFly, go into Map Mode, select 3D EFIS you will get a split screen with half the screen being a 3D map (which you can also click on and make fullscreen).  If you have a source for traffic information (e.g. ADS-B In), and if there is traffic out there, and if your traffic criteria is met (see your own settings), it will display the traffic on both maps. 

BTW: is there any other traffic source that iFly can use besides ADS-B In?

On the EFIS map each aircraft will show up as somewhat elongated, 3D pyramidal-shaped craft, with a white surface at the tail end, and a red side and green side.  (In other words, you can make out the orientation of each aircraft, both by where the "pointy end" is pointed and also by the colors.)

I thought that you needed a Stratux or some other ADSB "in" with an ADHARS for the synthetic vision/3D to work..

It will work to a degree without an AHRS device, but it's not something I would want to rely on in IMC. It synthesizes attitude using GPS. And yes, traffic requires ADS-B in.
