Convenience is great. It's part of why I use 1Password. There is a limit though to convenience. It's not convenient for me if my data is out there. If you aren't willing to automatically push this to users, at least give the users the option. You can outline the pros and cons of each choice.

Also, it's been 3 years since OPVault first came out. How careful can you be?

Well, we've been slower than we (and you) would have liked getting OPVault to different platforms. For sophisticated users, handling the switch should be fine. But we need to make the transition rock solid everyone.

If even just 1% of our customers end up synching a .agilekeychain on some devices and an .opvault on others, they will get data that slowly drifts apart. And we've grown kind of popular over the years. 1% of users is a lot of people.

Our transition from OS X keychain to Agile Keychain back in 2009 was an rough experience for customer support. And back then we were Mac only.

I'm not saying that the wait hasn't been longer than it should be. But our plans for a swift transition didn't work out as we would have liked.

But sophisticated users can switch to OPVault in most cases. See https://support.1password.com/switch-to-opvault/ for instructions.
