From my standpoint since I am on unstable not all unstable packages will be brought over so I am not sure how stable this would be for MX. I'm sure the devs already have enough to deal with.
If we knew for sure the KDE packages would stay at this version for the next stable release then they could probably use the packages for the next MX release.
I have some issues with network packages not installing . I am using cmst to get my networking working.
I have only played around with some of the themes at this point so I haven't done much with it yet.
Sorry I can't help more.

I installed gcc-8-base from here and no more packages kept back:

that thing is the gui for dpkg --configure operations that have prompts, like steam or some firmware packages, virtualbox, lots of things. when you install more than one display manager, there is a prompt to decide which display manager to actually use.

@andyprough Anything you would like from our side to get ready?
I think we are just happy that you are involved with the KDE updates. KDE/plasma has always felt like a second-class citizen on debian.

Hopefully not anymore, I'll try to push updates as far s possible, and new release should also be available via OBS.
OTOH I feel less and less motivated to care for Cinnamon, which I don't use anymore but I'm not it less the only one (and Fabio).

Hi Norbert,
One MX dev said to always keep in mind that we are wanting to avoid any hard dependencies on systemd. I'm assuming that won't be too much problem, since unlike Gnome, KDE does not seem to have any init dependence issues.

Well, with Plasma 5.21 there will be more and more systemd creep coming in. I'm not happy about it myself, but this is what is going on. I'll try to keep KDE/plasma working without systemd, but this also friend on upstream.
