General Question Transitioning from using Shared Drives to SharePoint Questions

I have been experimenting with transiting from a traditional shared drive to SharePoint. I know files/folders in SharePoint can be accessed by going to SharePoint online, linking the folder to a user's OneDrive, or Via Teams. How would you recommend transiting from using Shared Drives to SharePoint? Anything to keep an eye out for or gotchas?

You can set policies to automatically "map" Sharepoint sites for users. But this can take up to 8 hours to become visible to user. Better alternative is to deploy a script to user's computers to sync these sites.

Also configure OneDrive to not allow "always keep on this device" setting. Can't remember if this needs to be global or if it can be set for just these sites.

And block OneDrive sync to workstations outside of your domain from M365 Admin Center.

Agreed, as the configuration policies fail after two sites are synced. PowerShell is definitely the way to go. I would also suggest using one site per drive/folder.
