However, with calendarserver 5.x, I can see that these kind of guids are considered invalid. Now, I figured out that the valid guid can be generated from the function 'str(uuid4()).upper()'. But how do I migrate the data from older guids to the newer guids? Is there any database update command that I can run?

The behavior you’re describing is not in a 5.x release, it’s only on trunk right now.  We’ll sort out a way to upgrade data in the 6.x release.

VTODOs (tasks) have been split out into separate calendar collections, so you probably just need to add the “tasks” calendar to your client as well.
