There is hours of customizations ranging from language, CSS, and avatar customizations that I don't want to have to redo, if not necessary.

I'm largely worried about "notifications", if they are emailed to group owner correcty when a new user requests to join their group. I believe this wasn't working in GJ 2.5RC.

I don't know what more to say.

If your language changes are made in an installed language plugin and not by hacking the default language files, then your changes will not be over-written.

If you css changes were made in your joomla template then CB upgrade will not affect this.

You should ofc first try upgrade on a cloned environment before doing it on a live site.

So have these bugs been fixed?

Yes, it's a list of fixed bugs and implemented features.

Are there still any issues with group permissions (the permissions glitch in GJ 2.4)?

All known permissions issues are fixed with GJ 2.5.

Have email notifications been fixed (a issue with GJ 2.5 RC), so a email is sent to group owner correcty when a new user requests to join their group. This wasn't working in GJ 2.5RC.

All notifications were re-reviewed and re-tested and fixed for GJ 2.5.

Do you advise I wait until CB 1.8.1 and GJ 2.5.1?

No, waiting would never end as maybe you'd decide to wait for CB 2.0 instead of 1.8.1, etc.. just upgrade and then we'll tackle any new issues you may run into from then onward. It doesn't help us or you to be using an out of date release that maybe have known issues already fixed as you'll just keep posting about issues we've probably already fixed. 1 bug could easily cause 20 "symptoms", which seam like 20 different bugs. I highly recommend you stop making core edits as this is specifically why we advise against them; it makes it very difficult to upgrade and it makes you second guess if you should upgrade or not. As for the template you may want to download MyCommunity or Coolness and review how to provide your own CB template so you don't have to keep changing the default one with each update. For upgrading the answer should always be "do it".
