z/OS v2.4 appears to really enforce LE compliance especially for any called utility routines will need to be LE compliant or you could end up with a U4088-63 abend. Generally, straightforward old COBOL code will continue to run on newer LE versions with some exceptions. It would nice to keep the old environment around at least until you can determine whether the apps that will remain can run on z/OS v2.4.
