Large forum - import questions

We are very interested in moving from vB 4.2.3 to XF 2.x. We are a rather large forum with more than 14 million posts. We have a lot of add-ons and custom fields and we're not sure if or how these will be imported. Are there any limitations to the importer in terms of number of posts, database size, etc? Any and all feedback is welcome as we don't want to get halfway through the import process and discover an issue.
 
The biggest issue would be the addons, you'll need to find or commission suitable replacements for Xenforo, and convert the old addon data to the replacement addon format, if possible.

No - the importer can handle any size database.

The time taken to import will depend on the server hardware, configuration, and tuning though.

The importer won't import any add-on data.
