To change the workflows in use, yes apply a new scheme. This will only affect the project to which you are applying the new scheme, and part of the process is that Jira will re-index for you. There is no "revert" in Jira, but if you do apply the wrong scheme or change your mind, migration back is just re-applying the old scheme.
