Monterey seems to be working well on two 11" 2012 MBAs I've installed
it on. Just as fast/snappy (relativly speaking) as Mojave/Catalina was
on them. No real hassles setting it up. I already had an installer i
made a few weeks ago. Unfortunately it was for a different laptop but
when the time came I just got a (polite) error message with the offer
to create the correct one. That took about 15 seconds. The only other
issue was that it took 2 or 3 install/boot cycles to get it going (no
input from me required), so about an hour/hour-and-a-half all told. And
now I can use Universal Clipboard among other things!

I used it on my 2017 MBA and got Ventura running quite well. It does seem
to “mess” with SIP and I wonder if security is degraded as a consequence. I’m back with Monterey on my MBA for the time being.

Is SIP the one that stops you opening apps from outside the app store?
I just had to go into sys prefs and "Open Anyway" for Unison to get it running.

I started using it last year, when Apple released the new Photos 'Shared Library' feature. I needed to upgrade my iMac 2013 to Ventura, so took
the chance with OCLP.
It's been OK so far, certainly no issues with overall performance.
Occasionally there is some trouble with graphics, as there is usually a
delay with updating the support for the 'Kepler' GPUs. They get updated
soon enough though.
It's managed to squeeze some more life out of an ageing iMac, which
otherwise would have become useless.
No problems with the iCloud stuff either.

Any issues with macOS updates?

Well not really, app signing and notarizing is a different thing. SIP
*uses* it, as Apple partly explains.
Howard Oakley explains a lot more https://eclecticlight.co/tag/sip/
