I think no age is too late to switch. I also had to actively unlearn some QWERTY habits. Although in my case it maybe helped that I could not type perfectly with ten fingers.
Whenever I switch back to QWERTY for a short time it feels like I cannot type. I also have to look at the keys on the keyboard sometimes because the layout feels so strange. So whenever I have to do something productive on someone else's system I switch layouts (which is no problems on MacOS or Linux because Colemak is built-in).
As mentioned in the article, if this happens often than you can consider a hardware Colemak keyboard, because the other person can use the normal QWERTY configuration.

Thanks for your reply. In that case I'll definitely give it a go when work and life quietens.
If I remember I'll report back my results!
