Just a suggestion from my own experience:
Since many players conceive the need to convert all of their stuff as being extremely grindy, here's a suggestion from what seems to be working best for myself, making use of the most important new features, like persistent special effects and remote workshop:
- Visit your engineers and simply convert your stuff. Stick with grade 4 for now. This costs nothing.
- Apply your preferred special effects.
- Pin your most used blueprint. More often than not we use only a single one, anyway (i.e. long range FSD, dirty drives, etc.)
- Leave the g5 rolls for later, as you don't have to come back to do them.
This way I could readily improve most of my modules very quickly, surpassing most of the old rolls even at g4 thanks to special effect bonuses. Luckily most special effects are relatively cheap on mats, requiring mostly medium or low level mats, which can easily be obtained in large quantities from mat traders. And thanks to specials being persistent, I can do the g5 fine tuning whenever I have some high tier mats to spare, thanks to remote workshop.
Have fun.

which worked very well... 145 chemical manipulators and 50 DWEs later... I didn't even need to relog as the T9s respawn after a few minutes! Very quick and efficient material gathering! Finding such a system is hard though. I went back yesterday afternoon in my alt account and while the system was still in Famine, the distribution centre had gone [knocked out]
