The old attributes will be supported (ignored) indefinitely.

This does not answer the question. While the existence of these attributes in the catalog entry may be ignored, what effect does this have if the dataset is old enough so the dataset actually has Embedded and/or Replicated Index Entries? Will these datasets remain readably and updateable until the dataset is backed up and reallocated (at which time the Indexes will be corrected.

However, this might be a good time to bite the bullet.
The process of redefining the catalog, should take a matter of minutes (for each catalog), during which time the catalog would be locked.
