    I'll answer what I know.
    Xamarin will not have any other major releases, but will be supported for a year after MAUI is released.

    You should start new development with XF. Starting new development with MAUI now wouldn't be a good move for a production app. I would do it for a hobby app, but not one where your professional reputation hangs in the balance.

    Migration should be pretty easy if you stick to in framework UI elements and use the Xamarin Community Toolkit MAUI Compat nuget. That would be the approach I would take in starting new development.
