Trying to get the ball rolling here.

Anybody with real world experience upgrading Odoo CE through OpenUpgrade? I run two Odoo installations, one for myself and one for a client, that are on v15 and v17. Upgrading doesn't seem very urgent or necessary at the moment for either instance, but once in a while I wonder how much trouble I'll be in when the need arises.

OpenUpgrade looks very patchy, and to be honest it seems like a daunting task.

Any experiences or best practices?

I didn't know there was an Odoo community I should've been subbed to!

Do you have a lot of customizations? If not, I've heard OpenUpgrade can usually handle things fine.

As soon as you have customizations, things get dicey. Odoo loves changing things around, sometimes for seemingly no reason. Of course this is also a good moment to evaluate the necessity of any customizations - maybe you don't need to port them all over?

Also this goes without saying, but don't run OpenUpgrade straight on prod. Create a database copy to test on. Always have backups.
