Upgrade to MariaDB 10.3

What's the conventional wisdom about upgrading the server sql services from MySql 5.6 to MariaDB 10.3? The WHM is urging us to proceed. Some general website searches indicate its routine and causes no issues.

Any word on negative impacts with ZC?

Not being urged by WHM. May be because we have MySQL 5.7 installed which is EOL after MariaDB 10.3
