I will assume that Debian Buster is also pretty stable, although myself I have preferred to avoid the abominable systemd and stick with init on Devuan. (Devuan is now more Debian, philosophically speaking, than Debian itself.) I don't know where Gene stands on that question of Debian systemd versus Devuan init, but I'll leave that to himself to decide. As a fellow cranky oldster, I don't care so much for change, and tend to stick with the tried-and-true (hint, hint) such as Devuan init. The only possible "showstopper" that I would mention is that the wireless networking has changed slightly. Wherever this detail matters in your setup, remember that wlan0 in versions Jessie and earlier becomes wlx00027288d1fd for myself; I don't know if the characters following wlx are the same for everybody or just me, but you need to get that part right. It was a big headache when I tried to upgrade to Ascii(=Stretch), and in fact I never did get wireless networking system with it, but kept falling back to Jessie until Jessie was no longer supported. It was a little messy upgrading straight from Jessie to Beowulf(=Buster) because I was skipping over Ascii/Stretch, but after a few weeks of ironing out the wrinkles, it runs better than Jessie ever did, and I've been running Beowulf with almost no issues since at least a year or more past.
