I haven't tested with the old one - it should still work though. As I recall there weren't huge changes between the two modules - definitely not as far as data handling is concerned.
Having said that, the new one does seem to be more reliable at keeping the network connection up, so it might be worth upgrading. It's not that bad now you can do it through the Pico, it's just a faff to install the esptool software
