According to a quick check 35 tables (posts with tables) has been stripped or skipped from the migration:


Code:
MariaDB [vb3]> select count(postid) from post where pagetext like '%[table="head"]%';
+---------------+
| count(postid) |
+---------------+
|            35 |
+---------------+
1 row in set (5.559 sec)

MariaDB [vb3]> exit
Bye
root@discourse1-app:/shared/neo/bin# /shared/neo/bin/pg
psql (10.12 (Debian 10.12-1.pgdg100+1))
Type "help" for help.

discourse=> select count(id) from posts where raw like '%[table=“head”¯]%';
 count 
-------
     0
(1 row)

We can easily write code to convert these tables to markdown; but since the posts were stripped from the migration, and this would require a totally fresh migration from the start, I am inclined, as this time, to just drop these 35 posts from the new site.

We could add them at a later time, manually, as doing this manually for 35 posts would take a few hours, but redoing the migration will take a week and be painful. It would take a few hours to write and test the script, to make sure it works anyway.

So, my inclination to not worry about losing 35 posts with TABLE tags at this time (and manually add them back in the future).
