You're well to the south of me, but the ones around here have a tendancy toward included bark crotches that peel out really easily, definitely want to see your TIP if not spurring.
Wood fibre is long, soft, and stringy, I like to leave a bit more holding wood for good control, have heard of barberchairs, but I find they "pop" predictably. If you like to use the snap-cut to contol sections, you barely need to bypass your cuts.
I find I can treat them like a silver Maple that grew too fast.
Would not be surprised to see Ekka or another Aussie chime in here, they've got some monster eucs, and a climate more similar to SoCal. (Wet here).
Oh, and bring a scoop shovel for clean-up. The crew will be raking up piles of little berries
