It would most definitely be worth it from our point of view (the Daikon toolset) as we have already rolled our own Java 8 support. Our primary motivation is that we have been using our own updated version of BCEL for years and would love to get back to an official release. Finally, all our code is open source, we would be happy to share our StackMap support with BCEL.
