migrating VMs from Legacy ESXis to UEFI ESXi hosts

Hello Experts. 

we are in a stage to migrate our VMs running on older hardware with bit older CPUs (E5-2680 v3) to newer hardware with Xeon 6338N/similar/greater series CPUs.

from what we see, the newer platforms go with UEFI boot by default. 

our plan is to

get the new hosts installed with ESXi

VMotion the VMs which are living in older hardware to new hardware (shared storage)

we are not planning to make any changes in VM's BIOS.

is there any known issues in migrating the VMs this way? is there any best practices documented in this topic?

Thanks in advance.
