I'll summarize how things are going on within Surya as you guys, obviously, could see that not many members are staying on the XDA (as we already moved to Telegram + Maintainer stays only in Telegram) so some questions usually left un-answering.
1. PE11 for Surya is obsoleted and you need to revert the partition-things back to stock MIUI states (there are many ways to do that but the easiest (for me) is using Mi Flash Tool, reflashing the stock rom without re-locking the bootloader and starts a new) to PE12 Surya.
2. However, A12 (not specifically to PE12) isn't that stable. There are bugs/issues. Most common one would be SystemUI froze and soft restart. This is unavoidable. There are also some minor visual bugs (eg. the whole screen turn to black from pop-up animation (this isn't that common but usually mentioned by the users)).
3. Also TWRP doesn't support A12 encryption yet. So you either need to remove any security methods (fingerprints, pins, patterns) before update or you could flash the DFE (Disable force encryption which already included in advanced menu in recent version of TWRP).
4. Yes. The upload to Google Photo doesn't count on PE12.
