The primary value is the additional coverage Navionics offers (i.e. non US waters, lakes, areas where NOAA has yet to offer Harbor detail).
The Navionics charts also render (draw) quite a bit faster the NOAA ENCs.
You can continue to use the Navionics charts from X-Traverse for as long as you like, but yes a new edition (yearly) would have to be purchased. Navionics is good about fixing reported problems with charts and there is no charge for such updates.
Transfering waypoints has nothing to do with what charts are in use. That requires a NMEA connection to MacENC.
