Hi

Few months back we migrated 8.3 to 8.4 and again last week 8.4 to 8.4.1

For reports and FM Models there are no much huddles!! You can migrate them safely.

Coming to 8.4.1, Yes the server stability is good but make sure while configuring the dispather settings.
This is very importent for performance.

All the best.
