I recently did this switch to the same card and it sounds like it was as painless for you as it was for me.
An issue I had later on was that I still had some Nvidia packeges installed I didn't know about after removing them with apt. I had to fully search with dpkg to find them. They ended up being the root cause of a seemingly unrelated issue I was having trying to run a game through steam. So yeah make sure to fully purge the Nvidia drivers.
At least where I'm at you can still get a spicy potato soft taco for $1.
