Nothing major, just little things really.  For example, (and this may be me doing something wrong admittedly) I found that I could not centre a single column web part on a team site, whilst I could in a Communication Site.  I also found that on a Team Site, I couldn't get the top links bar working as well as in a Communication Site.  What I tend to do, is create a new Communication Site, then strip everything out.  I'll add a hero web part in a single column at the top, then under that I'll have the news feed and Quick links in a Single column with sidebar layout.  I think this looks really nice.  Links to dept doc libraries can be tiled below this, and then I'll add things like a Twitter feed or a contacts list and a few other things to pad out the landing page.
