I had most of the mods here work with AE with next to no issues. Some of the older ones might not work of course but that is to be expected

 Well, this is your answer: https://modding.wiki/en/skyrim/users/skse-plugins

Personally - switch to AE mostly hurts due to loss of NetScriptFramework. But there is a couple of mods that went AE only in suppport, might have been worth it.

Es sind nun schon ein paar Jahre vergangen, seit ich die AE-Edition von Skyrim habe und ich habe eine Frage: Sind die meisten Mods jetzt AE-kompatibel? Ich spiele hauptsächlich mit SE 1.9.7, also der Version vor dem AE-Upgrade. Lohnt sich jetzt ein Upgrade auf AE? 

 

This isn't the first discussion about this.

Strictly speaking, you don't need to update your installed Skyrim from SE to AE - there are now backport tools that allow mods written for AE to work on SE as well.

 

However, since I kept getting tangled up mod images while modded - the only solution was a complete deletion and subsequent reinstallation... Of course, you're faced with the problem -> what is my data source for vanilla Skyrim?

On Nexus, you only get the AE version... but why backport it - if that means you also need a "backporter" for the current mods!

This only makes sense if you have a second (clean and unmodified) SE installation in a protected directory on your own computer as a "backup"... at least that's how I did it for almost three years.

 

Six months ago, I finally decided to switch to AE for good.

I'm on the newer build by now, and I cannot complain. It is not any more unstable than before, and pretty much all of the mods I want work fine. At first I stuck with 1.5.97 because mods were all over the place with their versions, but it's fine by now honestly. All I did is keep my load order the same except for swapping over all mods that use SKSE or specifically wanted the newer Skyrim. No issues here.
