 see if this ticket would be updated/resolved.  Do you think it is safe for
 me to try now?

 Actually, you should wait until 4.2 is released if you want to be sure. I
 identified a related issue with restoring widgets from a prior theme
 activation. See #31484.

 But if you are especially concerned about testing this feature out, take a
 database backup before doing the switch. If something went wrong, restore
 the database dump. This would give you peace of mind.
