You can root virtually all versions of Andriod if not all.
Security isn't an issue as long as you download most of your apps from the play store. I generally only use xda for the additional apps I need.
Rooting an older device and upgrading to a later version is more than possible, but there could be a performance issue if your old phone doesn't have the horsepower in processing. Also if a rom was created from another device there might be a few bugs which you will have to live with.
Sometimes it is easier to get a 6 month old Android phone with Android 4.4 installed and root that
