Does and don't when developing a project on a Standard edition meant to run on a Edge edition

Hi, we plan on installing/developing on a standard edition with perspective, and later change the edition to Edge.

Why? Because we have multiple people that require perspective access during the construction/commissioning phase of the project. Whereas, later, thanks to the frontEnd/backEnd/Edge architecture we no longer need more than 2 perspective licenses at the edge.

What would be the does and don’t when creating a project on a Standard edition meant to later run on an Edge edition?

There are the obvious, a single project, no DB connection .. anything else to ensure a successful export/import with the minimum change required on the project?

Thanks.

This will be painful. I advise against it.
Develop separately on docker instances of the Edge project and just combine them later on.
On 8.3 you can do the change management easily using Git and standard tools like that.
