For Raspberry Pi the result was predictable. If a package was providing
a binary executable or a library - it failed with SIGILL.
If a package was providing some kind of arch-independent script - it
worked.

Starting with Raspberry Pi 2 nearly any Debian-provided binaries have
started to work. The exceptions to this rule are packages that depend on
kernel features which are included in Debian, but are missing in
Raspbian, and OpenGL-dependent ones.

Latter are more-or-less operational with Raspberry Pi 3.

Yes, they do. Some packages have Raspbian-specific patches (dhcpcd, to
name a few), most are rebuilt "just in case".
