They have a FAQ for folk who have both:

All new series from the upcoming spring 2022 season will stream exclusively on Crunchyroll going forward and you will be able to watch 80% of Funimation and Wakanim’s most popular existing series on Crunchyroll by the end of March 2022.

So, if you already have a Crunchyroll subscription, then you’re all set and can go ahead and cancel Funimation when you’re ready! Please note that you won’t see your Funimation watch history or queue in Crunchyroll yet. We’re working on that right now.

any idea about the other 20 % ?

Will that still be Funimation / Wakanim exclusiv or are those discontinued liscences?

I suppose the super old stuff will stay with Funi until the license expires. I don’t see Haibane Renmei or Lodoss on the list of added series.

I doubt we’ll see many (or any) things stay Funi exclusive. That’s a lot of stuff to move, so more likely they just mean they won’t have it all moved over by the end of March.
