its habit at this point. same wallet.dat since 2011, and still in Non-HD format.
Wow that's tricky!
Not really: I have a non-HD wallet (my very first Bitcoin Core wallet created days after I joined Bitcointalk), and it has a keypool that stores 1000 unused keys. Each time it's unlocked, it refills the pool to 1000 again. So any backup is good for a very long time.

But I never really bothered upgrading to HD either: I like simple random pools. And I don't hold much in that wallet anyway.
