I figure it should be OK. I did just that recently when I bought a new 
Thinkpad (P16 Gen 2) and used the SSD from my old Thinkpad (P1) to the 
new one. There didn't seem to be any problem after booting. No 
modification was required. The system was running recently updated 
testing with a stock kernel. If you build your kernel yourself and 
optimize it for efficiency or space, then your experience will probably 
be not as good. But the stock kernel has the kitchen sink and all, so 
chances are you won't have a problem trying. It will definitely help if 
your system was updated not too long ago before you do the swap.
