5.4 will be worth the upgrade, but I would wait for it to become final 
before installing it on any production servers. If you have any test systems 
please start testing it. The more 5.4 is tested before release the better. I 
don't think that you will be able to migrate a gvinum volume to a gmirror 
volume in place. You will have to back it up, remove the gvinum volume, then 
configure gmirror and restore the data, etc.
