The project file is not compatible but the content files are (although I
haven't actually tried sharing them so I can't swear to this)

Yes.

X5 has version control (and you can integrate with Visual SourceSafe)
but otherwise it wasn't a big change for me. I never had problems with X3.
The one gotcha may be dealing with Word. I had to upgrade to X5 because
X3 wouldn't play nice with Word 2003. If you're still using Word 2000 or
Word XP or if you don't need to generate Word documents this won't be a
problem.
