10.11 is still a hot mess for large home media collection. Especially one with images mixed in. The team doesn't even seem to prioritize fixing all of that before moving on building new features. Music collection are also slower and albums meta don't load correctly anymore. I would hold off from fully converting to it if you have a large collection

I do have a large collection and I haven't checked the music lib state yet. I have a zfs snapshot from before the upgrade so I could restore if shit hits the fan.

I honestly found it much better to create a new db for 10.11 vs migrating. Both took about the same amount of time but the fresh db has no issues and the migrated db has some hiccups like you described (and some others). Main downside is you lose watch status

SWIM has a sizable aged library - wouldn't be surprising with sqlite db corruptions by now - and absolutely no issues smoothly upgrading amd migrating to 10.11. Had sweaty upgrades a few times over the years but this was not one of them.

Honestly it's a testament to the devs that it mainly worked for most people as well as it did.

Like kudos to them. That was a huge, huge migration to a different library/format and they pulled it off.
