I noted a couple of issues and workarounds, which I'd like to share to community and nopCommerce team.
My pipeline YAML is:
# ASP.NET Core
# Build and test ASP.NET Core projects targeting .NET Core.
# Add steps that run tests, create a NuGet package, deploy, and more:

1) Azure DevOps build Task fails on Nop.Plugin.Tax.Avalara plugin
The build agent behind the scenes is a Linux VM. Not sure it this makes a difference. The source code compiles fine on my local windows box.
Build FAILED.

Workaround: REMOVE Avalara plugin from solution, and rebuild.
2) Azure DevOps PUBLISH Task fails with error NU1605: Detected package downgrade: System.Net.NameResolution from 4.3.0 to 4.0.0. Reference the package directly from the project to select a different version

Unless you have locked down a SDK version for your project(s), 3.x SDK might be picked up which might have breaking behavior as compared to previous versions.
Some commonly encountered changes are:
If you're using `Publish` command with -o or --Output argument, you will see that the output folder is now being created at root directory rather than Project File's directory.

WORKAROUND: In Nop.Data project, Update System.Net.Sockets and System.Net.NameResolution to 4.3.0 and rebuild
With these two workarounds, I now have a working end-to-end pipelines for Build, and Release to my deployment group of Linux web servers.
