Late to the Big Sur party, but just completed successful upgrade from Catalina (Clover) to Big Sur (OC 0.6.6)
My process was as follows:
* Create OC EFI folder (Kexts, ACPI, config.plist, etc) using Kaby Lake Guide
* Delete Clover EFI on my Catalina installer USB, replace with new OC EFI folder
* Boot from Catalina installer USB, and select my Catalina OS Hard drive as boot device, verify everything is working as expected (Audio, Messages, Airplay, Bluetooth, wireless, etc)
*Boot normal into Catalina (Clover), and do full CCC backup
*Delete Clover EFI from internal EFI partition, replace with working OC EFI folder from Catalina USB install disk
*Reboot, cross fingers, verify that computer boots properly with new OC EFI folder
*Verify all the things, update kexts, etc
*Upgraded directly from Software update to Big Sur, took about 30 minutes, be patient
*Success

MoBo: Gigabyte GA-Z270MX-Gaming 5
GPU: Radeon RX Vega 56
RAM: 32 GB
HDD: 2 x Samsung EVO 850 1TB (1 macOS, 1 Win10)
