What evidence do you have that it's dangerous. Many people have used the process I suggested to get out of same the situation as you have.
How big is the 'quite large' collection. I have a library of 120,000 books, I would have no hesitation to run copy with delete to a new library should it ever become necessary to do so. Of course I would have a backup of the current (warts and all) library before doing do. And I wouldn't expect it to be very quick.

If it was as easy as you seem to think it is, it probably would have been done from the get go.
