I'd worry about security holes. Even if 2.3 doesn't fix any, if they find one, is someone going to patch it in 2.2? I agree. I’d worry about security holes.

I'm wondering about upgrading from 2.2 as well. The question is how long 2.2 remains supported. Wordpress has a low pain-in-the-arse factor if you can cope with the command line (as we all can).

I think that's pretty clear-cut. You list many reasons why you shouldn’t upgrade but none why you should. I think that’s pretty clear-cut.

I ran it, and it detected some potential problems even in the handful of plugins I use. From the feature list of WordPress 2.3 there doesn't seem to be any really compelling reason to change yet, so I figure I'll give it at least a few months and see if things change.
