Please not yet.  Once r-base is uploaded to unstable, no other R
package will be able to migrate to testing until r-base itself
migrates, and r-base itself will not be able to migrate until every R
package has been rebuilt successfully (or removed from testing).

When we are ready, someone from the release team will give you the
go-ahead in reply to this bug.

I don't believe so.

Besides the bioconductor packages (92 of them according to the
tracker), how much other breakage do you expect?
I seem to recall upstream has some nice CI pages, would you please
link to them here?
