Few question about XF2

I have some questions about add-ons. I noticed that for XF2 practically all plugins are paid. Can you tell me what is possible to set up in XF2, and what do I need to do by external plugin?

Here is a list of things I need:
  1. Auto Link Titles (https://xenforo.com/community/resources/auto-link-titles.2502/)
  2. Defer JS (https://xenforo.com/community/resources/defer-js.2972/)
  3. GuestImageAttachment (custom, paid plugin - allows guests to see full-size images instead of thumbnails)
  4. Hide Links to Guest (https://xenforo.com/community/resources/tlk-hide-links-from-guests.5513/)
  5. First Post Only (https://xenforo.com/community/resources/first-post-only.3401/)
  6. Nodes as Tabs (https://xenforo.com/community/resources/nodes-as-tabs.9/)
  7. Shoutbox (I'm currently using TaigaChat Pro)
  8. Thread Thumbnails (https://xenforo.com/community/resources/th-thumbnails.4834/)
  9. Widget Framework (https://xenforo.com/community/resources/bd-widget-framework.297/)
  10. Add More Currency (https://xenforo.com/community/resources/tinhte-add-more-currency-s.1420/ - to add PLN)
  11. Multi Prefix (https://xenforo.com/community/resources/multi-prefix.2379/)
Is it possible to keep current theme prefixes when updating? I have been using the Multi Prefix for a long time..
Of course, I use more addons, but the ones I mentioned are "must have".
 
Have you checked whether you really need all of these. For example I have found that with xf2 I no longer need Widget Framework or Nodes as Tabs.

Really the best thing would be to ask those developers in the appropriate threads, for example re: Multi Prefix

I'm aware, I haven't yet written an update which unblocks the XF2 upgrade process but it is on my to-do list.

These are the things that are built into XF which you don’t need add ons for.

Actually unsure about the guest image one. Isn’t that just a permission?

Built in to XF since 1.5.

Default with XF2.

Built in to XF2 via he new navigation system.

Both built in to XF2.

Has anyone already tested XF2 on the production version of the site?
I have about 290K users, 150K posts. I am constantly thinking about upgrading my forum, and then converting DB to utf8mb4 :unsure:
