I've just upgraded from 9.10.2-U5 to 11.2-U5 and aside from kicking myself for not even considering installing each release (i.e. 11.1) along the way, everything seams to have gone perfectly fine (see below for more details of my upgrade methodology). My old Warden Jails and Plugins are back up and running, all my services are switched back on (although I did have to input my UPS monitoring password) etc.
There is one thing I've noticed though... the upgrade lost my Periodic Snapshot and Replication tasks. So I've had to recreate them.
My questions are-
1. Is losing the Periodic Snapshot and Replication tasks normal/expected behaviour?
2. Is there anything else that might have been disabled or wiped out that I should check?
3. (having seen a comment from @Chris Moore that recommend upgrading to each major release, one by one) what are the risks when skipping major release versions whilst upgrading?

Here's my upgrade methodology.
- Created a firmware upgrade USB stick to flash my LSI 2308 to the latest firmware.
- Stopped all Jails and Plugins on my 9.10.2 install
- Stopped all service on my 9.10.2 install
- Exported my pool on my 9.10.2 install
- powered down the system
- disconnected the power cables to all disks attached to the LSI 2308 SAS ports
- booted into 9.10.2 and upgraded from 9.10.2-U5 to 11.2-U5
- rebooted into 11.2-u5 to see if I'd get a warning about mismatched firmware version (I didn't).
- rebooted into the EFI shell and upgraded the LSI Firmware
- rebooted and double checked the firmware flash was successful.
- rebooted into 11.2-u5 to see if I'd get a warning about mismatched firmware version (I didn't).
- powered down the system and reconnected the SATA power cables.
- booted into 11.2-U5
- turned all Jails, Plugins and services back on.
- Checked the above was all up and running... it took a while to be able to connect to my Deluge Jail using my GTK client but after a quick `service deluged restart` everything seams to be working.
- realised that my replication and snapshot tasks were gone!
