Then, we could just simply point the upgraded 10.1 instance to these new databases. All was going pretty well with this approach until I started seeing this error in the xConnect logs: Could…

xConnect: Adding custom facets in Sitecore 9
The default collection model in xDB comes with many of the fields you would normally need for storing information about a visitor, but there are almost always those special cases where you need to store something very specific to your business that doesn’t come out of the box.
