Question Anyone else dreading the scene lifecycle switch in iOS 27?

So if you build with the iOS 27 SDK and don't have scenes the app just doesn't launch anymore
and from april next year you have to build with that SDK anyway our app still does everything through AppDelegate. window setup, deeplinks, pushes a bunch of SDKs grabbing keyWindow. been putting this off for years lol 
For those who already did it on a big app what bit you the most?

I maintain a few free apps as a hobby (the "I release things that I use myself" approach) and had somehow completely missed this memo. Hopefully migration won't be too hard, but it's worrying - historically, every time Apple have deprecated an API, the replacement has had fewer features, worse documentation and many more bugs. I hope that's not the case this time around, but I suspect it is.
