the current versions of weewx will, when updating from one version to the next, backup the old weewx.conf (by adding the date to the filename) and update weewx.conf with any .conf changes which are necessary. This means that you end up with the old weewx.conf backed up and weewx.conf will have been updated - whilst attempting to retain customisations which were in the file.
Conclusion - let weewx do its stuff on any update and update weewx.conf and then, if necessary, compare the weewx updated version with the old version if things do not appear to work as expected. I would think there will be definite omissions if continuing to use old weewx.conf files.
