FWIW, the OP's approach (build a new IDPv3 and migrate relevant
settings over from IDPv2) is also what most deployers here have asked
about. I'm guessing mostly because they (righfully) consider their
existing deployment totally obsolete, in (virtual) hardware, OS,
container, and IDP software and configurion versions.
Not saying yourthe official project stance is misinformed or that the
other way is "better", I just find it suits people's mental model
better to replace the old thing with a new thing.
(Very "devops" that way, strangely enough.)
