I plan to upgrade from my RT-AC86U to the RT-AX86U (which will arrive in a few days). Both will be on Merlin firmware 386.3_2.

Can I import my saved config and JFFS backups to the new router?
 
No. (Well, technically it doesn't stop you but you shouldn't do it)

 
Is restoring just the JFFS partition to a different model and firmware will lead to problems?
 
Is restoring just the JFFS partition to a different model and firmware will lead to problems?
Probably not. It depends on the models and firmware versions in question, and to a certain extent what customisations you've made to the old router. There's no simple yes/no answer to that question.
