Why?: 1. migrate now, or later this year when Buster is the new Stable.
2. Newer features. Mate 1.20 is great, so is 1.16 but there have been 
several "new shiny things" I like.

alpha? maybe so: Been using Buster on one machine for 6 months or a 
year, no issues... none that lasted more than the next update anyway. 
The last couple months zip.

I have other distros available on the machines. My data is always 
accessible.

my procedure was dead simple:

using Pluma:
edit both /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/base.list
 > replace stretch with buster

using Synaptic: refresh and update ... took about an hour.

reboot and all was good

true that! packages have to be in pretty good shape to get to the Buster 
repo
