Following this thread closely. We are about to face the exact same decision and the replies here are gold.

Great point. I had not considered the angle you raised in the second paragraph — it reframes the whole thing for me.

Solid breakdown. The only thing I would add is to back up before making the change — better safe than sorry.

Appreciate the clear steps. The dry-run tip in particular saved me from a mistake I would not have caught otherwise.

Could you say more about how you measured the result? I want to try this but I am not sure what success would look like.

We ran into the same situation last quarter. What worked for us was starting small and only adding complexity when a real need showed up.

Thanks for writing this up. Bookmarking it — the kind of thing I will want to reference again in a month.

This is the answer I wish I had found six months ago. Would have saved me a weekend of trial and error.
