I compared the two to understand them. The TLDR on nala is "fast apt". Topgrade finds the distro and uses the appropriate upgrade tool, plus gets things like brew, cargo, pip, snap, flatpak and fwupd. On Pop!, Topgrade will use nala instead of apt if it's installed (so that part is faster). That last part surprised me so I looked at the source code in the repo. I'm not a Rust programmer, but the code is readable and you can see the logic. You're right, topgrade is a wrapper and you could just make a shell script yourself (that's what I used to do). The benefit here is that the script is being maintained and improved. The "gotcha" with Pop! upgrades for me is VMWare Workstation. Kernel updates break vmmon and vmnet and they have to be recompiled. I recommend the VMWare host modules Builder CLI project. I wrote about it here.
