I found it to be helpful to de-install as many programs as possible

Yes, Definitely. If you can, uninstall anything "big" that you can
live without temporarily: LibreOffice, Chromium, Qt, KDE, X11, Gnome,
Cups, etc.
Leave portage, sshd, Python, your init system, and GCC.
Stuff like libreoffice or thunderbird and so on and all of their
dependencies. Everything your system does not need to run but what
you need to be productive when you use your system. I use -av
--depclean for this.
Can't you, instead of uninstalling anything big, just start with the
system set for the upgrade?
emerge -auvDN @system
Once the system set is updated you can assume of being in a rather sane
state, where a world upgrade should just work(TM).
In theory this should work. My experience is that it does not. I have
had a couple of time when I couldn't do an emerge -auvDN @system because
of blocks but when trying to do a emerge -auvDN @world portage could
solve the issue with the blocks.
