Officially, it does support Windows 7, meaning it was tested under
Windows 7 prior to release.  I have only needed XP compatibility mode
for a *very* occasional title (probably less than 1% of my games
collection).

In a brief surf of the Steam forums, the only folks I saw that needed
XP compatibility mode were folks having trouble on bootcamp on a Mac
(and of course they are pointing fingers at everyone except Apple for
an Apple specific issue).

If XP compat mode works for you then I guess no reason to change, but
I did want to point out that when Steam games do not support modern
operating systems, officially, there is a warning banner that says it
requires XP or whatever.
