Not doing something to upgrade the files even a little is taking a significant risk... Consider the impact of the site going down and no sales even able to be taken on the customer side... At least in the above situation the store front worked and you could have limped along using just phpmyadmin as a work-around...
Glad the store is working again, but hopefully it can continue operating based on your future decisions.
