In most cases, your individual fuse files for Fusebox 3 will work without modification in Fusebox 4. However, if you want to use some of the more advanced features of Fusebox 4 (content components specifically) it may require some changes to the way you are outputting things.
Furthermore, because you can execute multiple Fuseactions in Fusebox 4 without using CFMODULE and with no performance penalty, you can probably reuse some of your FB3 CFMODULE fuseactions without much change in FB4. Really, the only people who will have trouble porting to Fusebox 4 are people who grew overly-reliant on CFMODULE (who's slower performance is a CF issue not a Fusebox issue), or who intermingled too much programming logic into their displays (a symptom of deeper problems than simply a challenging conversion to FB4). You can keep on using FB3 for as long as you want, you don't HAVE to upgrade. But unfortunately in the real world, technologies have a limited lifespan. If you have a C application and you want to reap the benefits of C#, you have to recode. That's real life. Luckily, a great deal of the guts of an FB3 application will port cleanly to FB4 in most situations.
