To be safest, make a copy of your sigil.ini files (and any other .ini files in the Sigil Preferences directory). That way if there are any settings related issues, you can always deal with them. There should not be any issues going from Sigil 1.1 to Sigil 0.9.10 and back. But you can never be too safe.
Yes you can always uninstall and reinstall from the release packages always available on our Releases page. On macOS I regularly install/replace right over top of the previous release with no issues. In Windows I am unsure. Maybe someone else could comment on that.
I simply turn on Preview to see what I am getting while editing in CodeView. When it comes time for Final proofing, I load up the opf in the main tab of Sigil, and launch PageEdit via the external Xhtml editor settings.
I then use Preview in Edit mode to make very small fixes when proofing, and then change to Preview mode in PageEdit to test links and things, while using PageEdits navigation icons to read the xhtml in spine order.
Any changes will show up in Sigil after saving and closing out of PageEdit.
Then I make any final changes in Sigil (create a ncx, update epub3 manifest, etc) and do a final save.
Of course that is just my workflow. I am sure there are many other flows just as valid.
Hope this helps.

Mainly I just want to find out whether I can safely uninstall the new Sigil and return to my old version should I not get along with the new?
I'm in my 60s, so change doesn't always go easy, but I'm usually pretty adaptable. As I haven't worked on my digitization hobby for a bit, I thought I might as well go with 'new and improved' in hopes of liking the new Sigil even better!
