That may be your best bet, but right now only users and groups are
migrated, so that may not be adequate.

Theoretically it is possible to stand up a new CA instance using

a less-than-perfect solution anyway since knowledge of all
currently-issued certs is lost.

I'd suggest looking into migration.
