Well, GPE is nearly independent on the panel and WM. Old Matchbox
applets can still be hosted in Matchbox2, but conversion to the
Matchbox2 panel module would make them less memory-hungry.

Just matchbox-panel-manager will not work due to Matchbox2. Matchbox2
does not support layout change without restart. But there are things
that become outdated over the time by a change of low level technology -
for example gpe-bluetooth.
