2012 Prius v wagon

Model:

V

My v is not quite there yet, but it’s aging. I’m trying to plan ahead. I will be driving from Louisiana to NYC and back this fall and I want to consider replacing the traction battery before I depart.
I’ve looked through threads and am having a hard time finding a thread specific to whether this is a good idea to replace NMH with Lithium on a 2012 Prius v.
There seems to be come opinions NOT to do it on models it wasn’t intended to be on. However the v has been Lithium in Europe for years.
I’ve watched installation vids here but I haven’t seen a pro con thread appropriate to 2012 v.
your insights or threads appreciated.
