did you go ZHA or z2mqtt?
ZHA and everything went smoothly (my only problem was the dongle was so big it blocked the other USB ports). Packed away the IKEA hub last night.
the dongles tend to get better reception if you use an extenion lead anyway so might be worth considering that.
Ah well that's good to know as I used one. Reception seems solid.
My only real issue was when I changed the firmware to add in Thread Border Router functionality - it seriously degraded the performance (for no actual benefit), so I changed it straight back and haven't had an issue since.
