I’m running 2 pre-remaster campaigns on Foundry and hosting them on The Forge. Players in both campaigns agree they want to remain with the Legacy rules until these campaigns are complete, so we’ve opted not upgrade so far and have been sticking with PF2e v5.2.3
I’m interested in starting a new campaign for Season of Ghosts on Foundry, also with players who want to stick with the Legacy rules. However, I also understand that some of that adventure path will be released on Foundry using the Remastered rules.
I am wondering how well the Legacy module is working for 2e. I don’t want to upgrade my existing campaigns then have it not work well and frustrate my players. And I’m not sure how well the module would work downgrading Season of Ghosts content from Remaster to Legacy.
The advice I’ve received so far is “don’t do it”, and we’re looking instead at doing Strength of Thousands on Roll20 (which has done a nice job allowing Legacy and Remaster to coexist). But I’m curious on the thoughts of others. It would also be nice to have the Remaster rules on my Foundry for Pathfinder Society play.

You can run season of ghosts just fine but you need to insert all of the statblocks and items on your own. Still less work than using roll20. It's also likely that foundry modules will break when updating them since no one expects people to stick around on old versions. Just keep that in mind.
New APs (official ones) and compendia will not work with your current version.
Personally, I'd just update. The only changes you'll notice is that alignment is gone. The remaster is really the same game

I've used it as both a player and a GM in a few campaigns. It's alright. It makes finding things a little harder as there's now two of everything and not every menu item has the "legacy" tag (such as when choosing sorcerer bloodline for example).
However, it works great in its intended role, which is to allow you to use all the new Foundry updates while still using legacy options.
No problems for me as yet.

@Ravingdork – thank you. This is exactly the kind of experience I was hoping to hear about. I far prefer Foundry as a platform, but have had concerns about whether Legacy and Remastered would be able to coexist. Being able to switch between Remastered for Society play and Legacy for campaigns is what I need.
Can I ask you – for your Legacy players – did they have any challenges when you upgraded to the Remastered PF2e rules on Foundry with the Legacy modules? i.e. did they have any problems with their character sheets when switching over? You had mentioned about needing to be careful selecting the right options from the compendium since some are not Legacy labeled. But aside from that, has there been anything to take away from their experience?
I ask this as some of my players are relatively new to Pathfinder or casual players and I want to minimize their potential confusion/frustration. Much thanks.

The only time it gets weird is when there is no analog, such as when I updated my Champion and didn't know what to do with his holy avenger (which does not yet appear to have a Remaster equivalent).

They never mentioned any issues to me, so no, none that I'm aware of.

It was almost seemless. We were able to make the swap for all characters during an active play session without having to stop or even slow the game.

That's the biggest negative I've experienced so far, and that was buried in a sub menu of a sub menu. The individual items in the Compendium are pretty clearly labeled.

Learning their way around Foundry for the first time is going to be the bigger hurdle for new players. Navigating the legacy content is a minor inconvenience, at worst.
You just look up the Remaster feats, gear, etc. Then replace your existing character options with those. Super easy.
