I will say that upgrading to this release requires a LOT of effort. There are SO many breaking changes. I get that this is a major version update, and I am totally thrilled with the performance improvements. But golly, this is a huge effort. It is very fortunate that we have LLMs now to help with the transition, but this is still a rough process. I hope the amount of breaking changes is going to slow down.
