Converting "sensor platform template" to "template sensor"

Configuration
1

Hallo,
is it possible to easy convert this “sensor platform template” to an “template sensor”?

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      # time since off 'off'
      pool_pump_duration_off:
        friendly_name: "poolpump off"
        unique_id: "pool_pump_duration_off"
        device_class: "duration"
        unit_of_measurement: "min"
        value_template: >
          {% set t = states('sensor.time') %}
          {% set is_off = is_state('switch.pool_pump', 'off')| int(0) %}
          {% if is_off %}
            {{ (utcnow() - states.switch.pool_pump.last_changed).total_seconds() | int(0) // 60 }}
          {% else %}
            {{ 'no run' }}
          {% endif %}

Or is this not necessary, becase the old format will be working the next years without problems?
