I am being urged to move from Sky+ to SkyQ but I can watch Sky+ (same channel only) on TVs in 5 different rooms - can I do this with SkyQ? I don't want to 'upgrade' if I can't

You can have a maximum of 4 mini boxes loaned to you by Sky. You can watch Sky content on two minis and the main box at the same time. You may be able to use a third mini box if the first one in use is being used for a streaming app ie: Netflix or DIsney+.
Be aware the original 1TB (non-UHD) Sky Q box only allows one mini to be in use. All 2TBs and the UHD/HDR 1TB permit two mini boxes. Each mini box which is loaned to you may be subject to a one off upfront charge but you only need one Sky Q monthly Multiscreen subscription.

your current setup will continue to work for the foreseeable future

As @SKY1992bf mentions, the lack of software updates does not mean your box is likely to cease to work & is likely to continue for a long time but also note the warnings re replacement boxes , should it fail, mentioned by my fellow SUs
SKY Q does not have an RF output but I think some people have managed to use HDMI converters to provide one
You may, also, wish to read some notes I have made for people considering switching from SKY +/HD to SKY Q
