You can convert the database at the Xapian level: https://getting-started-with-xapian.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced/admin_notes.html#converting-a-chert-database-to-a-glass-database However that probably doesn't allow taking advantage of all the new notmuch features, so it's probably better to dump the tags, reindex then restore the tags.
