Hey that's me!
That's why they invented the nandroid backup.
Put pieces together, see what happens, if it breaks, don't whine, just restore.
I have a VERY featureful rom - one the richest - ViperOneM8.
It includes Xposed support in the Venom settings - for those idiots that won't listen because you don't need that stuff and won't be supported if you go there (harsh but fair paraphrasing of the dev team's statements).
I'd be lost without my security patch (I didn't have to wait for the rom update and now can wait for something more major), my ability to rotate my screen 360 (for most apps) and a lot more. Here's some of it.

The ability to patch a system vulnerability almost when it was announced, and long before any updates made me an Xposed believer, right there.
