I don't remember any issues. WP7 backward compatibility was very good on WP8, in WP7 they didn't supported any native code, it was all .NET so kernel change didn't matter.

One problem was all the phones that were sunsetted and never got the NT-based version, even though it was promised that many phones would get it.

Also, comments by the Windows head and others who say internally it was a nightmare.
