Knowledgebase 301 redirects

[Ragonz]

Afternoon

We are looking at enabling "Full Friendly Rewrite" within WHMCS but as we have been running for some time without this (currently set to "Friendly index.php") we need to 301 all the old links

url.com/index.php/knowledgebase for example. Would the easiest way of doing this be to edit the WHMCS htaccess rules from 
 

### BEGIN - WHMCS managed rules - DO NOT EDIT BETWEEN WHMCS MARKERS ###
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on

# RewriteBase is set to "/" so rules do not need updating if the
# installation directory is relocated.  It is imperative that
# there is also a RewriteCond rule later that can effectively get
# the actual value by comparison against the request URI.
#
# If there are _any_ other RewriteBase directives in this file,
# the last entry will take precedence!
RewriteBase /

# Redirect directories to an address with slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+[^/])$  $1/ [R]

# Send all remaining (routable paths) through index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# Determine and use the actual base
RewriteCond $0#%{REQUEST_URI} ([^#]*)#(.*)\1$
RewriteRule ^.*$ %2index.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
### END - WHMCS managed rules - DO NOT EDIT BETWEEN WHMCS MARKERS ###

RewriteRule ^.*$ %2index.php [R=301,QSA,L]
</IfModule>

Or is this going to do any weirdness and should we just bite the bullet and manually 301 every single link (at least 1k+)
