Was thinking I was insane for going with 5.0 rather than waiting on 5.1, but the upgrade process was smooth enough on two test machines that I decided to upgrade the remaining machines. Took the time to run regular proxmox backups and take ZFS snapshots. The upgrade went much smoother than I expected given that it upgraded from Debian 8.X to 9.X and added a number of new features. No need to restore and no major issues at all, really.
In total 5 machines with subscriptions and 2 without subscriptions, plus the 2 test machines where I experimented. Followed the instructions, to the last detail, located here:
I want to thank everyone at Proxmox for all their hard work, I know reading this forum would lead one to believe that Proxmox is nothing but buggy, but I've found it rock solid minus a few hiccups here and there but most importantly, I have not lost any data (knock on wood). Well except for that one "zfs destroy -r" command that ran wild, but hey, that was my fault.
