(Question: Why is asterisk a way to make letters italics? I use it for actions.)

Duplicate your site and set it up as a test site, no worries if that one breaks

Did you run into many issues when you updated?

To add, the Pixel Exit styles I own run the smoothest of any out there that I've found. Extremely pleased with those! Nice work @Russ @Steve

Nope!

We set up a duplicate test site where we: got rid of quite a few add-ons before the upgrade as we could do without them or 2.1 introduced the functionality.

The biggest trouble we had was the style ironically, mainly because we were running Font Awesome 5.x on XenForo 2.0, so we had a ton of template edits to achieve it.
