Yet no notification. The goblins inside the ios doing their thing behind closed doors.

Even a heads-up saying "hey we're doing some work behind the scenes on your device as part of the upgrade" would do.

Is there mention of this in any of the dialogs that one is asked to click "I have read and understand" that were not actually read? I remember Photos telling me that it was scanning the library to do their new layout after whatever update that was. That was to that specific app, and not a system wide notification, but it also said it would be paused until it was plugged in.

I could see a new something in the Settings that indicates post-OS upgrade showing migration status being useful.

If there was I didn't see it. But that is no surprise. Its not a way for them to escape a notification either imo. Especially if its slowing everything down.
That's potentially a good idea. It could even be hidden in the developer section, since those are the people most likely to notice.
