I respectfully disagree on one detail. In my setup the opposite held true, though I suspect it comes down to community size.

The importer preserves original dates and maps forums to spaces. Always run with --dry-run first to preview counts, take a database backup, then run the real import. It batches large datasets so timeouts are not a concern.

Could you say more about how you measured the result? I want to try this but I am not sure what success would look like.

Strong agree. Good defaults beat a wall of toggles every single time.
