Just downloaded the latest Lightroom Classic version and upon opening it stated "Catalog Upgrade in Progress" (and moving and compressing sync data). That was 45 mins ago and still under 10% complete !!

Is it supposed to take this long. I do have a lot of smart previews synced in the Cloud.

Time will depend on how large your catalog is, the speed of your computer, how regularly you optimised your catalog.

With my catalog being 1.1GB, running on an i7 16GB MacBook Pro, my upgrade took around 3-5mins.

It's primarily the moving of the sync data that can take ages if you have lots of photos synced to the cloud, so yes, I wouldn't be concerned yet.
