The answer is, unfortunately: It depends. The less custom styling your infoboxes have and the higher your admin team's skill level at CSS styling is, the easier it is.

The conversion tool gives you only a very basic version of the new infobox, but since infoboxes vary so widely across all wikias, it may not recognize all functionalities of your infoboxes correctly. So the first thing you need to do is to check if the new infobox it gives you still contains all the rows and all the correct labels from before. Make sure none are missing or in the wrong place, and nothing shows up in the new infobox that isn't supposed to be there.

The converted one won't have any custom styling at first, that means it will be the standard color, layout, width, etc. You can, however, restyle it to make it look just like it always did on desktop. You do that by adding CSS to Special:CSS. Before, all that styling information was included in the infobox template itself. Now, with portable infoboxes, all the styling is done in the wikia's central stylesheet instead. This make the infobox markup much simpler, easier to maintain, and, most importantly, more readable to mobile devices.

The hardest part for most communities is really to make the new portable infobox look the same as it did before on desktop.

I noticed you already seem to have converted one, included e.g. on Eric Cartman's page? Did you notice that you can create your new infobox as a draft first, so you don't need to show the incomplete, rough first version on any article at all? You can work on that draft it gives you until it is all correct and looks exactly like your old infobox. Only then do you need to click "Approve", and make it show up on all articles where it's included. The infobox on Eric's page right now looks like it's not quite done and corrected yet.

Let me know if there's any confusion about this, and if you need help! I'm not a CSS wizard myself, and can't do the conversion and styling for you, but I will do my best to help you if there are any specific questions or issues!
