Thank you MilkMC, I'll consider these options. I take it that indeed the mods folder conflicts then, but I'll check out this MultiMC page for the alternative, hopefully I can just run different instances without the issues that the update creates for me.

The reason I am hesitant about upgrading to 34.3 is that I have builds all over the map and would have to start copying these from my old version to the new one, in addition to whatever else may get lost from troops all over the map, item chests here and there or things I do not even know could be impacted (my alignment foremost of 5-10,000 per faction) etc. Overall, optimal immersion for me is getting used to a map for perhaps hundreds of hours, while with an update, pretty much everything about the familiar surroundings gets wiped. It's like coming home after work and seeing your walls changed, your furniture moved and items placed in different places.. For this reason, Middle-earth in my opinion should be a one-seed map without change to landscaping, unless a biome really gets an overhaul, so in this sense the Minecraft mechanic of seeds with total recreation of landscapes is not ideal. If I understand correctly from mindofmike's tutorial on updating to a new version, not only is it a lengthy process, but biome re-generation creates issues and the resulting landscaping needs quite some attention in MCEdit. On top, the end result will always remain like a reminder that this is an edited, "unnatural" world. For me, being reminded of that during gameplay fully breaks immersion.

Since I rarely travel south, the faction update I could live without until the next significant update. The only other major update feature is the scrolls, but since these cannot be crafted, they add little to the overall enhancement of the mod overall. So the trade-off for me with all the editing work is not worth it. Has not been so far at least. I may have to reconsider now if no alternative remains for server play.
