Early in the morning of September 27, 2017, I installed MacOS High Sierra (10.13), on my 27" 2017 iMac. Just worked, almost entirely.

XCode, 9.0 (9A235), and its Simulator
My biggest problem was getting my Time Machine backup, stalled on "Preparing Backup...", to complete, before the upgrade. I deleted the "... Cache ..." files from ~/Library/Calendars/, rebooted, and ran First Aid on my boot and backup disks (both were fine). The backup eventually completed, but I'm not sure what I did to make it so.
I did the installation early in the morning, while I went back to sleep. Around 10:15am, a dialog popped up, which took me to help.apple.com/macOS/high-sierra/whats-new, for a pictorial introduction.
