Go for it. Most mods that work for 3.5 work with 3.6, and they usually have an updated 3.6 version. Have a look in the threads for these mods to see if they are compatible, and look in the 3.6 forum for modifications to replace the mods you have now.

Your style will most likely work, just have to revert the templates and redo your template edits.

Here is what I do.
Shut down forum.
BACKUP FORUM, especially the DATABASE.
Disable hacks.
Upload files over writing your current files.
Run Script.
Revert Templates, and fix them.
Re-Enable/Install 3.6 version of your hacks one by one to make sure everything looks good along the way.
Somewhere in there after you have ran the upgrade script you can open your forums again.
If you decide to go for this, good luck. It's easy, and unlikely you will run into any problems as far as I have experienced.
