My experience on other distros was that upgrading in place a system that deviated too much from “stock” would wreck the install. I would personally play it safe and backup my home folder and do a fresh install.
Just don’t forget to test your backup before formatting your drive!
Android has always been developed in a closed-source manner by Google engineers, the recent changes only reduces the visibility of ongoing changes and the ability for developers outside of OEMs to contribute to Android (such contributions were already rare).
This is explained further in this article:
While some OS components, such as Android’s Bluetooth stack, are developed publicly in the AOSP branch, most components, including the core Android OS framework, are developed privately within Google’s internal branch. Google confirmed to Android Authority that it will soon shift all Android OS development to its internal branch, a change intended to streamline its development process.
Do it! Do it! Do it!

Kinoite is much more than that: it is an atomic and immutable spin of Fedora KDE. This has big implications but the gist of it is that:
You can roll back to any previous version if anything breaks
The base system cannot be modified
If you need to install RPM packages, you do that by adding “layers” on top of the base system, and these can be removed if needed to go back to a clean base system
You can switch from one spin to another by “rebasing”, but it is recommended that you remove any additional layer first and that you stick to the same desktop environment
