Another flawless upgrade! Timed it this time! Took 100 seconds to upload zip, unzip files, move files to live install, run upgrade script, merge 1 template (page_container) AND PEE! HA!
Also updated from 1.2.3 to 1.2.4 today, was smooth as usual. After upgrade ACP has some errors logged related to deferred. I deleted it instead of being smart and posting it here... but it was just during uploading files so I ignored it.
Upgrading xenForo is always simple and fun, never do you have the fear of anything going wrong.
Upgraded from 1.2 to 1.2.4 without even doing a DB backup. Foolish I know, but that just tells you how confident I am in the software that I didn't even think to backup.

I must admit I just did the same - system upgrade w/o a db backup... My host does automated backups ever 2 hours though so even if something didn't I would have been able to recover virtually everything anyway. Everything went smoothly regardless.
I upgraded yesterday, just had to merge 2 templates, nothing broke, no real changes done just a few functionality things i think with the two templates, but overall, painless upgrade!
I went through the XF 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.2.3, and 1.2.4 release notes and saw which ones would be affected
I copy-pasted all my customized templates to a text file
I ran the 1.2.4 install.
I expected to have to revert those templates and then pick through and figure out what changed and make my same changes again.
Instead, I just reviewed the changes, merged the template changes with the click of a button and it worked perfectly. All told, it was like 10 clicks to upgrade from XF 1.2 to 1.2.4.
