Yes. The differences between 5.0 and 5.1 are small and I do not recommend using newer versions, regardless.

Out of curiosity: is LuaJIT supporting only 5.1 because of technical difficulties imposed by newer versions, or is it simply that the design of newer Lua versions did not appeal to the LuaJIT maintainers?
Mike Pall (LuaJIT author/maintainer) is not happy with some of the design decisions and (breaking) changes:

The biggest issue certainly is the addition of integer types.
Why? Only because of luajit?
most likely,also sadly
what's wrong with luajit ? (I never used it)
edit: sorry I should have searched, Luajit only supports up to Lua 5.1
