If I recall, the main risks are that the migration may take a long time,
and that the admin may not have properly configured blob-storage in
their buildout.  The migration itself is pretty well-tested, at least
under Plone 3 -- Groundwire has migrated dozens of sites to use blobs. 
There may be some other concern I am forgetting?
