Nope, the upgrade was pretty seamless and uneventful, thankfully. I do use iCloud Drive within the intended purposes as described by Apple. I wouldn't use it for situations Apple does not explicitly support -- at least not without 3-2-1 style backups. A warning, not an admonishment: Use Apple services in a novel or unsupported manner and you're asking for trouble. For synchronizing dotfiles, certain app settings and such, I use Syncthing.

It ends up stuck or confused or conflicted but tries to resolve the merge conflicts opaquely and it's hard to know there's a problem in real time vs until later when you find something broken. I keep all dev things out of iCloud after getting burned by this enough times over the years. To OP: Consider a repo dotfiles setup like using Chezmoi or similar. Transitioning to it was less friction than I expected and the only downside really is having to remember to commit changes across devices. https://github.com/twpayne/chezmoi https://github.com/twpayne/chezmoi
