No problems at all on my low end Haswell i3 EconoMac 2, but as it was already running Mojave betas I knew I would be okay.
The only issues with upgrading my PowerMac G5 were that it was running a TP-Link WiFi card (no longer supported) which I replaced with a homebrew WiFi card using an Apple Macbook Pro card and a PCI-e adaptor prior to the Mojave upgrade of High Sierra. After the upgrade Preview/Quickview no longer worked, which was a known issue. I solved it by changing my SMBIOS from iMac 14,2 to iMac Pro (2017) and now both work as they should again. Some advised solving this problem by enabling the Intel iGPU, but that's not an option when running a Xeon CPU, which is why I went the SMBIOS route. All in all, not as painless as other macOS releases but not all that difficult either.
