Post Upgrade - To REINDEX or not to REINDEX

This is more of general "Best Practice" question:

We have a 1TB of data in our ES7 indices.
We intend to upgrade it to version 8.xx

Question is - Should we REINDEX existing indices (which were created in version 7.xx) ?
We understand this is not mandatory but
may we encounter any features which may not be available if indices are not reindexed to version 8.xx?
