Depends on how you use pandas. Pre-polars I would do a lot of single column/series manipulation which works the same way (though heavily discouraged by polars because you lose out on optimization opportunities). There are plenty of surface level keyword API changes (merge vs join, sort_values vs sort), but you can operate polars in a very panda-esque manner which do not seem all that alien to each other.

Strictness, I understand you cannot just slap it in, more just an idle thought.
