Restore Sierra 10.12.6 from Time Machine backup after High Sierra APFS install?

Hi all,

I am getting a bit sick and tired of APFS, and not being able to access it from any other OS. Also there are many caveats and no-go areas that are too restrictive.

I would like to restore my Sierra Time Machine backup from about a week ago. I was not asked to Inherit Privileges from the old TM backup, so I assume I can still use it (I have TM backups all the way back to March according to entering Time Machine).

I assume I will need to delete the APFS container and reinitialise as JHFS+

I will obviously do this from a Sierra boot USB.

Any thoughts or ideas?
