Should I use a carousel?

It kept infuriatingly moving to the next item before I could finish reading. Proves the point, I suppose.

I don't think "being in fashion" is relevant.

If someone wants this particular functionality (fashionable or not), then it's good if they can get a good implementation.

This was my first reaction also. And there's a reason they went out of fashion, because they divide user's focus and bring no benefits apart from being pretty.

When will video backgrounds go out of fashion for the same reasons?

Sometimes being pretty is exactly what you need.
