Appreciate the clear steps. The dry-run tip in particular saved me from a mistake I would not have caught otherwise.

This is the answer I wish I had found six months ago. Would have saved me a weekend of trial and error.

Run wp jetonomy flush-rules (or visit Settings > Permalinks and save) after changing the base slug. The 404s are stale rewrite rules — regenerating them fixes it immediately.

One caveat for larger communities: keep an eye on the indexes. At a few thousand rows the difference is night and day.

Solid breakdown. The only thing I would add is to back up before making the change — better safe than sorry.
