I tried to use Ubuntu Touch as a daily driver a year back or so, and while it worked just fine as a phone/SMS/browser, the surprisingly small amount of usable apps in the store was the thing that drove me back to Sailfish. The ecosystem just wasn't there, which bas both expected and a bit sad. Perhaps there is "a homebrew store" for it, but I couldn't find it during the two days I used it, and I did look for it.
I do have that spare Xperia X still, so I'll give it another spin at some point for sure!

I have an Xperia XZ sitting idle at the minute, I might see if I can get this on it just to see what all the fuss is about.

Can you clarify what you are really asking? The GUI will not be dependant on the OS version I would assume. But upgrading the base OS can be an effort, taking into account the wide range of devices, the closed drivers for an Android/Linux kernel, and the idea that phones are really embedded devices, not like laptops and desktops.
BTW, is anyone using Ubuntu Touch as a daily driver and their only device? I would like to hear experiences.
