Devuan is an excellent distro and I applaud you for installing it.

If you ever find that one app that you can't install on Devuan, just
run a VM or container that *does* do that app right, and run that one
app there.

The entire reason why I didn't migrate to OpenBSD and happily stay
there in September 2014 is because OpenBSD has no functional and
working Qemu, and shows little motivation to change that. So I'd have
to permanently live without those couple programs I needed. Normal
Linuxes enable you to run other distros in VMs or containers, so choose
the best one, even if it won't do your favorite program.
