No since there isnt much new stuff and most new stuff will be in your game even if you dont restart.

But i think it would be worth it to restart the game with the updates and some mods like Valheim Plus and Epic Loot.

If you dont want to do that - whats stopping you from using your existing character in a new save and transport your stuff to the new world?
