Any game engine change runs the same risk, that's the nature of programming. Over the years many improvements have been made and while some have had "issues" they invariably get resolved, sometimes with a hotfix if the issue is severe enough.
I've never seen the game code but from what Andy and Don have said it sounds like typical spaghetti code. Having worked with such things in the past myself I stand in awe of anyone that can retain their sanity working on it year after year.
Andy is a GOD!
