If your old lilypond files work, then you don't need to use convert-ly. 
 If something doesn't work, then convert it.

This is true of any lilypond input files and any version of lilypond.  
It just so happens that the syntax didn't change much (if at all) 
between 2.7.20 and 2.7.30.  If you try compiling an input file written 
for 2.0.4, you will probably encounter some problems.
