This touches on the probably most important area to pay attention to. Given the current(!) state of the repositories you will likely have to install some packages related to session management et. al. (policykit, elogind, udisks2, ...) from Devuan ASCII. The experimental, unstable (Ceres) and testing (Beowulf) repositories are currently catching up to (re-)establish the intended package flow, which was bypassed towards the ASCII release to speed things up. Note that things are moving swiftly these days, as the `wizards´ are pushing really hard to stabilize things beyond ASCII. (You guys rock!) > Any other experiences about what does work and what does not work? [...] Sorry I can't be of more help, but maybe you got some pointers to what kind of quirks to be aware of, especially that /right now/ you may have to get some packages from current stable (ASCII) to get everything working. Provided you still want to give it a go and not wait until the dust has settled it would be great if you could report back about how it went. HTH, best regards Urban -- Sapere aude!
