Perhaps the biggest leap for TTP is support for APFS. It is quite possible that TTP is a little early to the game here. As far as I know Apple hasn't finalized the specification yet. On the other hand, if one or both of your drives are HFS+ then that is a problem of backwards compatibility that was apparently introduced when the new version was being put together.
I have been using TTPro with OS 10.13.x of High Sierra (started with V10.13.2) ever since V9.6.1 of TTPro came out in December (V9.6.3 was just recently released). Both of my Macs have SSDs, and they have been formatted as APFS. No problems here running TTPro from the eDrive, and having it perform my needed/applicable tasks, including Volume Structures, File Structures, and Volume Rebuild. Also, two of the partitions on each of my external Samsung 850 Pro 512 gig SSDs are formatted as APFS, and I use them for SuperDuper! backups for each of my Macs. Again no issues with the APFS format.
As I mentioned above, there is nothing in V10.0.1 of TTPro (at this point) which would benefit me. In fact, given the initial issues with V10.0.1, it seems I would have more problems.
Finally, earlier today I booted each of my Macs from the SuperDuper! backups I did on Saturday and ran TTPro's Surface Scan to analyze each of the internal SSDs. As expected. no issues arose.
