Fully agree. I updated my old iPhone 6 based on the feedback in this thread and elsewhere. So far so good. Seems slightly snappier, but definitely not any worse.
This is great news because I'm perfectly happy with my phone, and I'm on a BYOP plan that I will never relinquish so I will be buying my next phone outright (and will look at both Androids and iPhones). This allows me to defer that purchase for a while longer.
This may seem counter intuitive for Apple to "allow" my old phone to work this well, but it is all about the ecosystem these days. If my phone slowed to molasses after updating to iOS12, I might start shopping around, and it may not be Apple getting my next hardware (and thus any subsequent) dollars. But they've got me for a while longer.
