I upgraded my projects to webpack 4 about a month back and I did not have much of an issue. The builds are definately faster. I would say this though: Webpack (and in general the current JavaScript-way of building) is one of those build systems that invite programmers to put a lot of stuff into their project builds plus a lot of programmers rely on templates or generators that gives a lot of code that they never bother to understand. That is a recipe for stuff that is hard to upgrade and hard to maintain.
