I wasn't expecting to upgrade this soon, but there were alot of people on here posting success, so I got inspired.
I wanted to point out a few minor weird things that had happened to me during the process. Would be interested to know if anyone else had a similar experience.
The first time I created the USB installer, when I tried to boot from it, it only loaded to 25% and then got stuck. Yes, I was using the EFI boot option. I saw other people on here posting the something similar, but I think they had attempted to upgrade via System Settings.
So not sure what happened there, but luckily since I did the USB installer method and no actual changes had been made to the internal boot drive at this point, I could just boot back in to Ventura and create the USB installer again in case I had done something wrong.
After booting from the USB installer again, it loaded in to Sonoma Recovery successfully this time, but it was only giving me the option to do a clean install (not an upgrade).
So I rebooted again, booted from the USB installer again (didn't change anything at all), and this time it gave me the option to upgrade.
And after that, it was smooth sailing.
