Migrate all the things!
summary
Migrate in core gets used for more than D6→D8 upgrades: it powers content-first with CSV workflows (simple page import in ~30 minutes), ingest from a REST view -> JSON source for Drupal staging, recurring incremental recurring sync jobs (mirror Git/Markdown sites or external membership systems) and selective partial upgrade via migrate_upgrade. Implementations use migrate_plus, migrate_tools, process plugins, REST and scripted or cron-triggered runs; translations, menus/blocks and file filtering need extra work, but these patterns run in production for multiple clients.
