The swap is just about as easy as installing the stock board, except the cables aren't perfect lengths and you have to look up a pin out for the board to put stuff in the right spot. The port in the front of the printer's case also won't line up, not will the mounting holes for the board itself; I just kinda janked mine in and it's been working fine.
did you have to adjust the board firmware to get it to work with the Neptune 3?
Yes, I don't know what (if any) firmware ships on BTT's board, but their GitHub page has both Marlin and Klipper builds for all of their boards.
If you don't know what Klipper is or how it works, now is a great time to learn. With the mods you're mentioning it sounds like you're very into printing as a hobby, Klipper is an eventuality. Within the first 15 minutes of having it set up you'll be wondering why you ever used the stock firmware.
