Currently, pan has scoring (the new scorefile format is a bit stricter to
slrn however so the file formats aren't identical), but no feature
equivalent to old-pan's rules.  If you depended on rules and did
text-groups-only or otherwise didn't run into the memory scaling or
multi-server handling problems that new-pan handles far better, it may be
worthwhile to stay with the old version for now.

Do note, however, that new-pan has a command-line mode that can be used
for download for offline reading.  That may or may not be a suitable
substitute, as it's an entirely different feature, but I see you mentioned
offline reading further down the thread so maybe the command-line fetching
will do what you need.
