That's what I use, ifupdown and wpa_supplicant. I've switched from
iptables to nftables already but still need to look at moving away from
isc-dhcp-dclient. I didn't say ifupdown is going to be obsoleted, btw,
and neither do the release notes I linked to.

Granted, I should have said

>>> For folks using ifupdown, like myself, the notes mention udhcpc as
>>> a possible substitute *for isc-dhcp-client*.

to make that unambiguously clear.

If looking for an ifupdown replacement, connman might be worth looking
into. See

https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/policy-query.html?c=package&q=connman&x=submit

for the versions available in Devuan (since jessie!)
Personally, I find the dependency on iptables a bit disappointing.

Hope this helps,
