What are the biggest changes you anticipate? I'd say they will be the version upgrade, converting to InnoDB, and using replication. It looks like you have planned well for all but using replication. Unless you are familiar with it, that is likely to be a bigger change than the version upgrade and switch to InnoDB. There's a lot to learn about replication if you haven't used it before. I'd suggest that you read the manual chapters about replication and binary logging, and definitely experiment with replication.
