Installed Sequoia, advice on migration?

I have a 2012 Mac mini. I have been tinkering around with OCLP with pretty good Success , in general.

Today, I created the USB drive to install Sequoia. The installation seemed to go pretty well, and then I let migration assistant take over. I wasn’t able to boot into Sequoia anymore. It would go into a loop where it claimed that migration assistant was done and needed to reboot.

So. I went back to installing it from scratch and it boots.

My question now is whether or not I can run migration assistant Success fully or if I should just load apps one at a time that I’ll be using on the mini?
