Self answering with some test results :-)
I've ported rc1 to Ubuntu 20.04 as if I'd do a release already.
There I've tested a few low level and a set of OVS-DPDK based use cases.

1.0.0 (14:24:29): virt tests
  1.1.0 (14:24:29): initialize environment
3.0.0 (14:25:26): performance tests
  3.1.0 (14:25:26): prep benchmarks
  3.2.0 (14:25:48): performance tests
    3.2.1 (14:25:57): test guest-openvswitch for OVS-5CPU  => Pass
    3.2.2 (14:44:47): test guest-dpdk-vhost-user-client-multiq for
OVSDPDK-VUC  => Pass
4.0.0 (15:05:47): VUC endurance checks
  4.1.0 (15:05:47): prep VUC endurance tests
    4.1.1 (15:16:31): start stop guests (client)  => Pass
    4.1.2 (16:38:51): add/remove ports (client)  => Pass
  4.2.0 (16:48:23): Final cleanup

At least in my cases I saw now functional issue nor a performance drop
due to 19.11.7.

Once completed let me know what your results look like :-)
