So far the only change that was not a "convert 1:1" was using sub-pages 
more extensively in the idea that we track renames and can do that with 
little problems (and that on a filesystem using a tree of files instead 
of one big flat directory looks nicer).
We didn't think about any other structural change, but IMHO the approach 
is "simply go ahead", except maybe if it's such a big or controversial 
change you think it would be pointless to spend time upon if maybe no 
one likes it and wound maybe be reverted... web.ikiwiki is a work in 
progress branch right now, so we can play with it with little problems.
