You're missing the gotcha of "as of -Beta3, the new Thunderbird *cannot
even import a key*."

I'm not kidding.  It is so far from complete that Kai Englert, who leads
the TB78 OpenPGP effort, recently proposed postponing OpenPGP support in
TB until version 78.2, or about a three-month delay.

At present, as of -Beta3, TB78's OpenPGP support is badly broken.
