If you are using any sophisticated features of 3.3x (which it sounds like you
are), it will most likely be a fairly large task.

I did not use conver4r4 when I did my conversion; rather, I rebuilt my
configuration from scratch so I could take advantage of all the new features ot
Exim 4.x (which actually simplified my configuration a great deal). That was
back with 4.0x; there have been so many things added since then I'd for sure
want to do it that way no.

However, I am not an ISP, and don't host any virtual domains, we're really just
a single-domain with lots of spam trapping and filtering, and using amavisd for
virus scanning. I don't consider that a complicated configuration, but your
opinion may differ :-)
