Hey, I want to ask something:

In the near future, I’ll GM a game based around time-travel. I would use AD&D 2e for that, but I’ve wanted to leave D&D for a while, and these games seem very interesting.
I plan to mix characters and adventures from many eras as the PCs travel around time trying to prevent an apocalypse. It’ll have a more science fantasy take, instead of a purely fantasy or purely sci-fi one, mixing tropes. I already have my idea of world (more or less), how time-travel works, and the plot; I just need a system to translate that. I’ve read that those games are compatible; so, do you think the W.O.I.N system – at least when N.O.W. is released – is or will be a good system for time-travel? A change from D&D for a while seems nice

The complementary pdf starterkit has premade spells. I cant really tell how well the verb-noun magic system works, mechanically. Yet it looks appealing, and if it works in a robust balanced way, it is a strong selling point for the WOIN system.

They are 100% compatible with each other, yep. Mix and match to your heart's content!

Testimonial time - the wife and I GM each other solo - in both games (one NEW with OLD stuff, the other OLD with NEW stuff) everything works very smoothly.
