They didn't have stocks before the 19th century?

I'm fairly partial to the powers section myself. Nothing too fancy, but you could use much of that in more serious or lower-point games.

And, like Bruno said, equipment is also a good section.

The equipment rules. I've seldom seen a template I liked and DF:A is no exception.

My view is, with the due treatment -although that doesn't necessarily easy-, all of it could be useful in a serious fantasy game.

I'd use most of it!
Not all at once, of course, but most of Dungeon Fantasy ideas, powers, items can be occasionally used in any fantasy campaign to add a "heroic" (or "d&desque") feeling.

Of course if you use all of it, as written, your campaign will be a hack&slash with "classes", which may be consideret "not so serious" by many players.
But you can pick almost anything and use it in a more low-powered, detailed or "realistic" fantasy campaign.

I mostly agree. I think the "seriousness" depends very much of the quality of the roleplaying-story-setting elements you throw in it (if you want to do it!).
