Since the Topic came up I wanted to share my experiences on this.
I did so by taking a BL-Helium system, changing
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian stretch main non-free contrib
to
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian stable main non-free contrib
in /etc/apt/sources.list.
Afterwards a simple sudo apt full-upgrade brought in 1600+ new/updated packages and I went to buster without trouble. (Besides some quarrel relating to java stuff which had been arranged in the next step.)
Since there was a lot of x-org related stuff to be updated and buster by default uses wayland I logged out of the openbox session and logged in on tty3* as root to run the update.
In a next step I changed the content of /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bunsen.list to
deb https://kelaino.bunsenlabs.org/~johnraff/debian lithium main
..another dist-upgrade and voiala: BL-Lithium (experimental) for the impatient.
Please remember: This is not an official HowTo and all in all it is not recomended to do this to any sensitive system.
This said I can add that the described install is running for some days now and works smooth and stable.
scrot or it didn't happen?

Thanks for the feedback!
...buster by default uses wayland...
This is not a problem. What it means is that if you install the default Buster desktop you get Gnome, which uses Wayland. If you install a Buster base system, or upgrade BunsenLabs Helium, you won't get Wayland. All the X components are still available in Buster, and probably Bullseye and after...
I logged out of the openbox session and logged in on tty3* as root to run the update.
This is good advice. (Although instead of logging in as root I might have just used "sudo" when needed.)
