AEM Cloud + Adobe Summit 2026: what’s actually changed in your real projects?

Just been going through some of the announcements from Adobe Summit 2026 around AEM as a Cloud Service and wanted to get a real-world pulse from folks actually building on it day to day.
A few things I’ve been thinking about after working on enterprise AEM Cloud implementations:
The Edge Delivery Services push is getting louder but I’m curious how many teams are actually migrating existing Sites implementations versus greenfield only. In practice the replatforming effort is significant and I haven’t seen a clean story for brownfield migrations yet.
Universal Editor is getting a lot of attention but author adoption in enterprise environments has been mixed in my experience. Has anyone actually rolled it out to a large non-technical authoring team and how did that go?
On the pipeline and CI/CD side, Cloud Manager has improved but environment promotion still feels like it needs work especially around content variable management across stages.
Would love to hear from others are these things you’re running into too or is it just specific to larger enterprise setups? And anything from Summit 2026 that genuinely surprised you or changed how you’re approaching a current project?
Not looking for Adobe docs links, already been through those  more curious about what’s actually happening on the ground for people building real things.
