Does anyone see a need to go to VS 2010 if we are just going to upgrade our
driver to the WDK model?

No. VS 2008 is just fine with the latest WDK.
The WDK has no dependency on VS anymore…

At present VS is not at all tied to the WDK, you get the compiler as
part of the package. There are rumors of the next WDK using VS as its
build environment, but until it happens (or hopefully not since the
tools for managing projects well are not there) they are independent.

You can even get rid of VS at all in favor of Kate or Notepad++ or such.

No dependency at all, starting with the vista WDK, as the compilation
tools are in the WDK itself.

A terminology issue – there is no “WDK model”. I suspect you meant WDF
or KMDF.
In any case, the answers you have received here are correct. The WDK
doesn’t need Visual Studio at all.
