I've upgraded a forum from 3.7.2 to 3.8 which uses this add-on with no noticable issues
Gladhatter - you are complaining about support for a product which is explicitly listed as 'Not Supported'.
That aside, you should have a test forum set up which mirrors your live site so that scenarios such as this can be tested on your own data without affecting your live site.
The vBulletin license agreement allows for a second installation for this purpose, provided it is password protected (ie. no members of the public can access it). It is invaluable in testing new products/addons/template changes and vBulletin upgrades.
By running through these processes on a test site first, you can remove the possibility of serious issues on your live site and by 'practising' teh upgrade process significantly reduce down time of your live site when you do take the plunge.
