Convex migrations in self-hosted

Hi, I am evaluating convex for an app that currently uses yjs / livekit but got too complex.
for the saas I can use convex hosted, but many business clients want full on premise solution so I need to self host. I see in the docs you don't support migrations, but is there any migration guide or info and are people doing it in practice?
I also can't afford an enterprise plan with on premise support as I'm just getting started and they are SMBs, but I also can't adopt convex without self hosting for them on their servers, but they won't need a lot of scaling..
I will not be self-hosting the saas version.

When a major version of convex is released, I assume there is usually an upgrade process and internal data structures migration (not the user db data).
I guess sometimes there are manual steps and fixes to be made in this process?
The docs say convex does not help with self-hosted migrations.
