actually, you answer your question yourself:

"Can I test"

yes: you can and *should* test, but it's a major upgrade.

I did it so:

+ checked out the automated conversation,
+ each change I made to the conf of Dovecot v1, I read, what to do in v2 
and applied the change to the default configuration manually with hints 
from the step above
+ once all in place, I started a test system with a bunch of accounts that 
used all features: sieve, sharing, ... .
