I changed to the (new defalt) UNIX hierarchy separator character while upgrading cyrus versions last year and didn't experience any problems. I don't think your authentication scheme is relevant, but as someone else suggested the imap clients might care. In my case, everyone uses Thunderbird, roundcube, or the mail client on their iOS/android device and the switchover was transparent to the users. I'm still have trouble adjusting to creating accounts with cyradm using user/username instead of user.username. Last time I checked this wasn't documented; hope it is now.
