I'm writing this on my "work computer", a late-2008 MBP. Two weeks ago I replaced the hard disk with an SSD, and did a "clean install" of Yosemite. (Actually, "clean install" is misleading with the hospital's crap-encrusted version of Yosemite; rather like a "clean install" of a muck-covered pig into your living room).
In any case, there haven't been any disasters yet, only inconveniences that are gradually sorting out. The speed gain from the SSD makes any performance loss from Yosemite trivial.
