You need to keep the useint* and usemymalloc settings from 5.14.2, then it should be ok. For the new 5.22 one you need to disable usemymalloc and remove the "_0"/".0" suffix in the dll and archname directory name to provide seemless upgrades to 5.22.1 and 5.22.2 later, to fix the .0 bugs. Typically a .0 perl release is of very poor quality.
The plan sounds good.
