Good day! Can you help me with upgrading apache for xampp? Is it safe to just load new binary from http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi and rewrite old contents of /apache with new?

No.

If you like to use a newer Apache, you should not use Xampp. Instead download and install all desired tools and configure them manually.

That's bad news. How soon new version of xampp with new apache will come? Approximately.

I dont know, i am not member of Xampp.

Approximately, there are 4 - 7 XAMPP releases a year (if you look at the last 3 years), but the frequency is decreasing.
