I stand to be corrected, but I think not supported simply means if you
get yourself into trouble, you keep the pieces, not that it can't be
done. I upgraded a couple of systems from Ascii directly to Chimaera a
while ago, and it went well for the most part. From what I recall, I
had to intervene to resolve cryptsetup-initramfs and cryptsetup-bin by
hand, and maybe another package or two. I am not recommending someone
try that, unless you feel comfortable dealing with dpkg, and have a
fairly good grasp of manually resolving package dependencies. If
someone reads this, tries skipping devuan versions and ends up with a
mess, I'm not responsible.
