Let’s do some math
Currently, we can have the following banks
28 main bank slots
7 bags in the bank with a maximum of 36 slots per bag, that is 252 slots
In PTR, those slots are transformed into the first 3 tabs of the new system. 3x98 = 294 slots. Those are 14 slots more. Beware the individual bags you have in the bank will be in those tags so you will only have 7 free slots until you sold or move those bags, which are no longer needed.
The reagent tab is transformed into the 4th tab. No gain, no loss.
The void tab 1 is transformed into tab 5. Void tab currently has 80 slots and the new tabs are 98 slots. So, you gain 18 slots
Void tab 2 is the same as tag 6. Another 18 slots gained.
In total, even if you have all 36 bags, you should gain 50 slots.
Keep in mind that also none of those tabs have any restrictions, unlike void storage and reagent tab, so that’s another indirect gain
More math. Unlocking the 6 bank tabs on a new character costs 9100 gold.
Unlocking the 7 bag slots on the bank, the reagent tab, and the 2 void tabs costs 311.1 gold. But if you have all this bought right now you will have all 6 tabs unlocked which means… you should unlock all 7 bag slots, reagent tab and void storage on all alts
No.If you have bought all extra storage in the bank (7 bag slots, reagent tab and 2 void storage tabs) you will have the 6 tabs unlocked by default. Unlocking all of that is 8789 gold cheaper now than in patch 11.2
This only apply to characters bellow level 80. Any level 80 character will have all the 6 tabs unlocked even if they don’t have all the current bank slots unlocked.

Isn’t void storage pointless now the way unlocks work. Not put anything into it since it was a thing back in the day then they changed it so it wasn’t real items then the new system rendered it pointless?
I have a tab and a half of storage used in there.
Reagent Bank going is going to hurt a lot.
Thats where I keep all the old content mats.

Contrarian opinion: I’ll actually not to do anything and assume it will go as planned without a hitch. If I lose even a single item and it cannot be restored, I will make an important decision.

is war ptr 11.2 still up as i can get a realm
Good! Better to have one big bank than several small lame ones.
Time to empty out all my characters cause my trust in Blizzard is below 0…

So my bag business selling all kinds of bags goes literally down the drain?
I hope that I don’t loose all my stuff again. My guildbank was completely empty after the guildbank-fiasco. I don’t have enough space in my bags to store all the stuff from my bank/reagent tab.

Do materials dont long need reagent-bag in bank, right?
That was never required & the bag slots will be gone too.

It will just be like the warbank but merging all those systems together.
I think we will still carry a personal reagent bag around though.
I’m a cynic, i vendored almost all the contents of my void storage (It was all transmog stuff, which is registered per-account anyway), and made sure to put the most precious items (You pick up some mementoes over the course of 20 years…) in my character’s inventory, so that whatever happens to the bank, those items are (probably) safe.
I have seen a post on reddit where someone has grabbed all their stuff and held it in their bags.
I’ve done that too to some extent, though I’m not convinced nothing bad can happen to our bags. Or mailbox.

I just did that with the most precious stuff, my first tier item (T4 helm, from tagging along with a Kara badge run), the “Robe of the void” i crafted back in Vanilla, things like that.
I’m 99% sure things will go just fine (Especially now i emptied my void storage, preventing a glut of old gear clogging up my bank space), i figure Blizz will have done some test runs of the transfers on internal test realms, but i don’t want to risk losing those items from a long-gone era, no matter how small the odds of a mishap are.

I have spent this evening logging on to each of my characters and moving precious things out of the vaults and into my bags for (hopefully) safe-keeping. I will be very sad if I were to lose the likes of my Tea With Sugar, Moist Towelette, and Fine Poking Stick.
I also discovered 2000+ Wildfowl Eggs on one character. Does anyone have any good suggestions of what to do with them, outside of pelting them at Nomi?
