I've heard nothing but bad things about preupgrade from lots of people,
and I've heard the developers either never hear about it, ignore it, or
don't care. I tried a preupgrade and it half-succeeded, I had to fix
the initramfs and a few other things afterwards though. IMO, it isn't
worth the pain.
My anecdata beats your anecdata. Preupgrade works fine for me, and has
done for several releases now. Considering it's just anaconda with a
reboot in the middle, that's not too surprising.
