All fallout I'm aware of is due to either taking a shortcut and
skipping the reboot after installing the new kernel, or running a
custom kernel without COMPAT_FREEBSD11 in the config (required to
support running the old world on the new kernel). Both of these are
(now) explicitly called out in UPDATING. So as long as those steps are
followed it should be fine.
