Based on my tests so far it seems compatible in terms of VMstate and also guest ABI at least to the first glance (lsusb, lsscsi -v etc) seems identical at least for the default 'read-write'/non-cdrom disk. I didn't yet test migrating with a cdrom to an older daemon though, which based on the above paragraph should have guest-visible difference.
