Following my woes with Advanced Custom Fields Pro 6.x, I did some research, and in the end I've decided:

1. My existing sites that use ACF Pro will stay on 5.12.3 for as long as that keeps working.

2. Any new site development will use Carbon Fields instead. Everything is built with code rather than a UI, and I can just add it to a theme with Composer.

Tech toot...

First use of Advanced Custom Fields Pro since the 6.0 update.

Fuuuuck, it's awful. The admin interface randomly fails to save changes, there are tabbed panels everywhere instead of a simple stream of fields, all the panel borders are really low contrast making it hard to see where you are, the tabindex sequence is wrong, etc etc.

I'm going to have to look for alternatives.
