My experience from similar plugin version changes:
- Plugins stored in new location: Makes no difference
- 32bit --> 64bit: Makes no difference
- VST2 --> VST3: This breaks the project, just as you assumed
I went from VST2 to VST3 in case of Waves plugins years ago when I worked with Cubase. In case of Waves the settings of both plugin versions are identical. You can copy the settings from the VST2 plugin an paste it into the VST3 version:
1. Install the VST2 versions as well as the VST3 versions
2. Load the project (it will load the VST2 plugins)
3. Open a track containing a Waves VST2 plugin
4. Add the related VST3 plugin to the track (next to the VST2)
5. VST2 plugin: Click [Save] > [Copy Preset]
6. VST3 plugin: Click [Load] > [Paste Preset]
7. Remove the VST2 plugin from the track
This way you can replace the unwanted VST2 plugins one by one. Not an elegant solution, but reliable.
I am not sure if other plugin makers also use identical settings files for VST2 and VST3 versions, but it is worth a try.
