I've never had to migrate between DirectX versions but I don't imagine it's the easiest thing in the world due to this approach. Somewhat related I saw a library to translate DirectX 9 function calls to DirectX 12 because apparently so much of the world is still using DirectX 9.

That's what the drivers for the new Intel GPUs have to do, since the GPUs were only designed for DX12, and need earlier versions to be emulated

Ah yeah, and it looks like this is what they're using: https://github.com/microsoft/D3D9On12 And it looks like DirectX 11 to DirectX 12 translation exists as well: https://github.com/microsoft/D3D11On12
