It was fairly smooth for me too.  My most recent experience, upgrading
my main home machine from 15.6 to 16, which had been previously upgraded
many times, had only three previously mentioned issues.

1.  Windows from the various virtual KDE desktops all piling up in one 
desktop.
This was fixed by reverting to X11 Plasma when logging in.  The migration
chose Wayland on its own.

2.  VirtualBox failure.  This was fixed by uninstalling and blacklisting 
kvm and
kvm-intel.  This wasn't installed before, the migration loaded it on its 
own.

3.  Installing the Flatpak version of the Signal App failed.

Everything else has been fine.
