Yes unexpected problems can happen.  An example of this is the config files.
V4 supports the v2.3 of the servlet spec, V5 supports v2.4 as well as v2.3.
If you use v2.4 features, make sure that your config file headers are not
v2.3, otherwise tomcat will ignore the new 2.4 features (or throw an
exception).  Note that the web.xml files that ship with the standard v5
installers contain a mix of 2.3 and 2.4 spec files.  This took me days to
spot before I realised what was happening!

Having said that I'm not trying to put you off.  Just wanted to give you an
example, to make you aware of the unexpected things that MIGHT happen if you
decide to upgrade :)
