Seamless transition to certified Homekit bridge?

First, THANK YOU for going down the native Homekit support path. I was using HOOBS/Homebridge and love that HE is now doing much of that work natively. I understand the current Homekit integration is not certified, which is totally understandable. My question is, once HE pushes certified firmware, will the existing hub in HK be seamless transitioned to the certified status, or will I have to remove the 'beta' hub and add a new hub via QR code once certification happens?

I'm trying to decide if I should go "all in" with the HK beta support and move all the HOOBS devices I can, or whether I should wait for the certified HE firmware if I have to delete/re-add the hub.

I don't think anyone can say for sure at this point given that it is not certified, and it is unclear what kind of changes Apple may require or that even Hubitat may do themselves as they work on fixes for any issues; however, I'd definitely expect that to be the goal.

I can say that the need to basically start over did happen once before the beta became public, so it's not out of the question. Hopefully just a one-time thing, but again, I don't think they can guarantee anything with it still being in beta.
