You actually shouldn't encounter too many issues, especially at this
stage... Ubuntu actually takes a lot of time ensuring upgrade routes are
reasonably consistent. Just make sure you install all of the
ubuntu-{minimal,standard,desktop,server} packages though to ensure the
process is as smooth as possible.

You have the advantage that most possible issues have already been
encountered and filed as bugs - then fixed. You should be fine, good
luck!
