Unless you live in the past (I've already migrated even production systems from jessie -- upgrade to stretch is flawless so far), I have bad news: XFCE has in a good part already migrated to GTK3. Which, in a theme thread, means you have no choice but to get a combined GTK2+GTK3 theme. This is a pain as most good themes are GTK2 only, and those with a GTK3 component need to be reworked every time GTK3's minor version changes (no backwards compat at all).
