So far so good.

No. I don't think so. Latex8 is/was for conference papers. The very
latest IEEEtran has a "conference" option but I'm not sure if all
conferences are using that.

I did a quick test with one of my old docs yesterday and found that it
still formatted the same as before so I don't think it is too much to
worry about yet. Although it would be nice to figure out how to
support it.

I've only have a quick glimpse of the latest code and haven't tested
any of the options yet. Plenty of conference papers get turned into
journal papers so it would be simpler if they were the same class --
mind you if IEEEtran(conference) consisted of just:
input IEEEtran_journal
extra_option conference
without any environment name changes (although font etc. info might
change) then it wouldn't hurt but would also be overkill methinks.
