Have there been any successful, public migrations from MS SQL Server
which I can point to?

Got a request over press@ for references.  Thanks!

In my view very little is written about it, in Cuba I reference migration
of Fleet Management System Land Transport Management, Management Banking
and smaller DB in my company whose processes I have participated.

None which I know about! :-(

But I am trying work out one such case. I am trying to build a few check-list items. Let me know if that would be helpful for you.

How old is that? Could not find MVCC there. I believe that is an upper hand for PostgreSQL when you compare to many implementations e.g. DB2 or SQL Server. Both of them rely on reading back (which not to mention is possible because of recording MVCC info) in transaction logs.
