After the Berlin can be rebooted onto its new file system, I expect it
should allow us to keep the build farm much busier than in the past give
us the headroom to experiment with a PEP 517-focused world rebuilding
branch.

I'd aim to have the build system completely replaced; unless your
experience suggests it's going to take multiple weeks to fix iron out
the kinks?
