Before rushing to upgrade, take note that they are abandoning the plugin system for, what I believe is, a docker-based approach for services. Don't quote me on that second part, but I'm fairly certain you will need to reconfigure any services which are presently running as a plugin.
If you have custom jails, then you really don't need my advice :)
I've just migrated yesterday and managed to replace all my jails with Docker containers, although the road was a bit bumpy, at least when it comes to the containers UI which is buggy as hell currently.
All in all I'm delighted. The CLI is great, the UI buggy but definitely better, and no more jails but proper containers instead.
Congratulations to the team and thank you for delivering.
FWIW, I replaced my WiFi/Bluetooth adapter immediately upon receiving my 9343. I had been following the XPS13 developer edition forums for a while, and the adapter that shipped with most XPS13 had a Broadcom chipset with bad Linux support. An Intel card was recommended instead. I actually had my card on-hand hand ready to go the day I received the laptop shipment.
Ironically I swapped the Intel 7260 in my XPS 13 9333 out for a Broadcom chip since every ~10 seconds the thing would flake out and I'd get a spike in latency >300ms - made normal web browsing a pain, voice calls were annoying beyond belief.
The broadcom wireless cards are garbage even on windows. My 9350 came with one, and it caused issues with the thunderbolt dock and other type c devices.
My only regret about getting into his channel is that now I have seen all of his videos and I have to wait 7 days for each new one.
His channel is great for more than just its content; it's also inspirational. My father has been a hobbyist woodworker and he has a small basement shop. Growing up I would frequently be down there with him 'helping' here and there, but never really built much of anything on my own besides a few small projects.
Watching Matthias' videos rekindled my interest in the hobby and I even picked up some new tricks along the way. It has also been great to get back into the shop with my dad and spend real quality time with him.
I was running a 2500K until this past July. Upgraded to Broadwell-E for the same reasons you mentioned (even though it was also regarded a flop). I'm using the "Samsung 950 PRO Series - 512GB PCIe NVMe - M.2 Internal SSD" and it is a beast.
My old desktop was passed down to my wife, who was previously using my 3rd most recent desktop, a Core2 Duo (E6600 I think). The 2500K/2600K still has much life left in it for many tasks.
I'm deep into this hobby and I can tell you that the AVS is one of the better solutions for the average person looking to play NES games. There are various mods you can do to original hardware for use on modern displays, but they can be pretty pricey, especially if you need someone else to do the [non-trivial] installation.
Furthermore, original hardware can be finicky; the NES has a notoriously unreliable connector for reading carts and requires a bulky AC adapter. Meanwhile, the AVS has an improved design, new/clean cart connector and runs off 5V from a USB port on the back; most people can plug it into their TV, receiver, or any other device in their entertainment system with a spare USB port (like an Xbox or PlayStation).
It's a superb value for someone with the cash to burn. I own both the NES and the AVS and think both are fantastic, but would recommend the AVS to friends and the NES to purists.

If you're collecting invasive plants then you're basically doing free community service. Obviously you shouldn't uproot native plants, although picking taking fruit from them isn't harmful, nor is taking foliage when done in limited amounts.
