Considering those scripts you are right; but, my main concerns would be regarding some XAPI change. The scripts that we create and inject into the Dom0 should not be that intrusive.
I do not know about the differences between CentOS 6 and 7, but the only way I see a script stopping working is that if a program that the script uses does not come with the CentOS 7 that is bundled with XenServer or if that program does not work with CentOS 7 anymore. I do not recall every single task that those scripts execute, at the top of my memory I can say that they play with the systems' firewall. They also mount, copy, and move some files around. I believe they also remove some configurations from the XAPI sometimes. Looking at the release notes in [1], it seems that none of the scripts should stop working. However, to be sure about every single function and task that ACS execute on XenServer a batch of tests would be required.
