There's a lot of nuance in how one approaches a migration of this size and the difficulty is amplified when you are doing this at scale.
This panel discussion brings together engineers working on popular apps that are using Compose and their experience in coordinating it's adoption.

Opening the shutter on snapshots
Jetpack Compose shows the power of a custom compiler plugin. But not all the magic happens during compilation. A lot of Compose features are based on a runtime library that doesn't require any compiler support: the snapshot system. It might seem like magic at first, but it's just built on top of things you might already know: ThreadLocals, linked lists, and, yes, even regular old callbacks. Once you understand how Compose thinks about state, you might find ways to use its tools in your own code – even outside of Compose.
