I am hoping that there isn't anything that will interfere with a clean install.

Even when it’s all working you WILL need all new apps and all new filters/ plugins. Check every one for availability. Yes, even if you have hundreds of filters and the apps were expensive. Apple expect you to be up to date, and some developers gave up the battle.
