Personally, I would make the change, but I can certainly understand leaving it well enough alone.
To make it easy on yourself, you could use wee_database to drop column soilMoist1, then use it again to rename extraTemp1 to soilMoist1. Then use wee_device to change to the correct configuration. That way, you save your old data without having to offload anything.
