I also changed from Airport Extreme and Time Capsule to Orbi. :)
Most devices will automatically connect to Orbi if you keep the same SSID and password. The only devices I had issue with are one security camera (Netatmo) and the Logitech Harmony hubs which seem to also check the MAC address of the AP, but all my other devices (TV's, speakers, laptops, different hubs, ...) connected smoothly to Orbi when I used the same SSID and password as what was in the old system.
So I believe that you will still need to check the devices one by one and connect the ones that will have issues.
Good luck
