OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER should be used by default for security reasons.
Please see <URL:https://www.isecpartners.com/advisories/2007-006-rubyssl.txt>.

Yes.

Could you create a patch for Net::FTP if it is necessary?

I prefer an approach to modify Net::FTP itself to support implicit
(and explicit) FTPS.
Please see Net::IMAP in Ruby 1.9.
