Xenforo has been on version 2.0 of the software for more than a year, so I'd say it's safe to change over. The latest 2.1 has been out for about 3 months.
The standard package has enough features that extra addons (3rd party enhancements) might not be needed.
This would still be a big job for Jeff. The styling can be tedious work to get right. At least XF allows for a test forum so experimenting is possible without disrupting the working forum. My advise is to treat it like a hobby and only do it if there is free time available. Family is more important.
After I went through the process of learning how to do forum work, I was amazed at how much is involved. Keeping up with all the ongoing updates is tedious. I just checked the XF support forum and noticed I haven't posted since May of 2016. The forum I manage is on version 1.36 and still running well. Whoever takes over from me can worry about upgrades.
