    But also when trying "emerge -1vUD @world" (be it with or without the
    package.use settings), I get stuck in conflicts (mostly on perl and
    setuptools). perl issues would probably resolve once I have EAPI8
    support, i.e. get new portage.

    With a year old system you should question if reinstalling your
    system after a back up of configuration and data files would be a
    smarter approach.

    In my experience, it will almost definitely be less work to
    reinstall --- usually a _lot_ less work.

    Well, after getting portage updated, everything else updated fine over
    night unattendedly. In this case, this was definitely less work for me
    than doing a reinstall.
