Can I import the config from the old boxes to the new ones and will it convert it as needed?

yes. you may use no-license and no-platform-check options when restoring ucs.

root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) load sys ucs test.ucs ?
Options:
  include-chassis-level-config  Include chassis level configuration that is shared among boot volume sets.
  no-license                    This option mostly is for RMA use. It loads full configuration from a UCS file except license file.
  no-platform-check             Bypass platform check.
  passphrase                    Passphrase for (un)encrypting UCS.
  reset-trust                   Reset device and trust domain certificates and keys when loading a UCS.

if configuration is missing after restoring, try /usr/libexec/bigpipe daol
