I recently switched from Chrome to Firefox as part of an ongoing de-Google effort... and, honestly, I found it fairly easy. The two things I missed and found solutions for were:
Other than those, I've found it to be a very comfortable, familiar experience.
Thanks for the heads up regarding fx_cast. Casting is about the only thing I use Chrome for and now hopefully I can stop doing that too.

It can be made to work in largely the same way. You just need to install the extra plugin (and associated extra component). I have a similar number of profiles as you and I haven't had to change how I work.
The article comments reference Multi-Account Containers, but I'm not sure I could make them work. I need different bookmarks for each profile, and I like the separation of a new window.
