In terms of using Classic and LR CC (whether web or mobile device), there seems to be a couple of significant things that don't sync. Maybe you'd call them incompatible, or maybe a better word:
* Collections vs Folders -- Classic uses Collection Sets to group Collections, CC uses Albums (same) and Folders (not the same). Folders and Collection Sets do not match up or sync. Do we think they will in the future? One function difference I miss, in Classic you click on the Collection Set and you can browse all included Collections, this does not work on Folders in CC.
* Keywording -- No hierarchy in CC. I have not explored this much. Tags from Classic show up in Read Only information section in CC (for photos ingested in Classic). I am not sure if you Keyword on CC ingested images, the Keywords come over but they can't be hierarchical which limits them a lot. I don't use Keywords a lot, but ironically in the last year or two I implemented a hierarchy in my tags, especially People and Location tags. Sigh. Do people think these will every interoperate?
* Color tags -- I don't currently use them.
There are a lot of other differences, I was looking at from a work flow of using BOTH together which I am in the short term. Here is a list from Laura Shoe on detailed differences in functionality: https://laurashoe.com/2017/09/26/definitive-list-of-what-you-can-and-cant-do-in-lightroom-cc/
