"Transition"... I'd say more like "degradation" into feudal, because the Tang imperial court would not willingly transition into a symbolic head of state when majority of the military power was held by the regional feudal warlords, nor would the Japanese emperor want a regency that sets up a parallel ruling dynasty where regional governors swear their allegiance to. Like currently there is no legitimate reason in CK3 to switch away from administrative government to feudal or clan, because admin is just mechanically superior and overpowered. Hopefully the new Asian governments won't be as busted.
Mind you, it is described as 'feudal-style' rather than strictly feudal. I imagine the 'Japanese feudal' part will be to feudal as much as 'Japanese admin' to Chinese / Byzantine government.
 
Poor poor Chinese.
First suffering from horsenomads, then maybe noticing how this Gardariki realm of barbarians keep spreading and the pesky nomads shrink back, salvaton finally! Even hearing the even better news they are a almost similar administrative government.
Things look very good. EXCEPT.. they are reformed witchcrafty warmonger-blot-cannibal faith... hungry for chinese!

Worse yet, those afrocanoe dragonships go around the big beautiful wall that the horsenomads somehow paid for.
From ashes into the infernal fire indeed.
