Like yourself, I imagine, I hate change, hate the need to rebuild my system that was working just fine. But once that release is no longer supported, it doesn't make much sense to keep using it for years beyond its security updates; whereas Buster/Beowulf LTS will be supported for -- how long is it? -- 5-7 more years.
Yes indeed - I can use a VM as a guinea pig, but not my own PC, so usually I would wait a bit after a release updating my production system(s). The good thing is that many people use testing and report back issues, so that these issues get solved. I do not see a reason not to upgrade to stable couple of months before it becomes old stable.
Just install and try mplayer from the command line - I am sure it was working fine with mp4 files under stretch.

I followed the instructions there, made no diff. Now have 6 players in the menu, but none work. This all Just Worked a year ago running wheezy.
