I didn't need to convert when I started using notmuch, but for past mbox-to-maildir conversions, I always had the most confidence in using mutt interactively. Tag all messages (S-t, all), copy or save to a maildir, and make sure your mbox_type is set appropriately. There are scripts out there to automate it, but if you're worried about missing something, doing it by hand might work a bit better for you. (You can also do it in chunks by date to make sure everything is moving over.) Not the most efficient, but you should only have to do it once.
