I think UI is the least of their worries. They've not even decided what to migrate yet.
It really needs to be everything - posts, comments, subscriptions, upvotes/downvotes, blocks, and mod status. It needs to be such that signing in to your account on the new instance is the same as signing into on the old one. It should be so seamless that you can just switch instances just to try out a new one and switch back again if it isn't for you.
It's not that on mastodon and it shouldn't be that here either. There needs to be some consequence to switching instance.
No there shouldn't be a consequence. However, most of this is related to server-load.
