No. Nouns are always capitalized, and there has been no moves to ever change that, despite the other spelling 'reforms'.

As noted, the scharfes-s ( ? ) is now supposed to be written ss instead, but since I happen to like ? a lot, I (and others) ignore that.

The spelling reforms have most to do with the spelling of certain words (such as three same consonants in a row in certain compound words); you are very unlikely to run into anything like that in the vB vocabulary, and bluntly, you can proceed without worrying about any such newfangled things. The only troubles you might have (because of coding, character sets, and search engine optimization) is replacing all umlauts with their correct substitutional partner, i.e. ? = oe, ? = ue, ? = ae, ? = Ae, ? = Ue, ? = Oe, and I guess, bah humbug, ? = ss.
