Migrating Shared Mailbox to O365 Group?
That's a no on all questions. If you are used to the way you dealt with messages in the shared mailbox, stick with it. If you want to add some group-based functinality, such as Planner, you will have to adapt to the conversation based style groups use, and forget about (sub)folders, rules, categories, etc.

- Was a bit suprised by the answers, much of the marketing I've seen referred to a group as getting a shared mailbox, which I read to mean a "shared mailbox", might be better to refer to it as like a "shared conversation list" or something.
- Well, don't trust on Marketing messages ^-^
IMHO, you should look at Group conversations as a sort of Outlook version of Yammer group conversations. (In fact it will be soon possible to use indeed Yammer for such purpose...)
Outlook Group conversations, in practice, as you have already discovered, have nearly none of the usual functionalities of a real shared mailbox...
