I haven't tried Devuan specifically but upgrading between different distribution version in an OpenVZ container is usually a bad idea and doesn't work in most cases.
Specifically if you are using a VPS based on the OpenVZ-Template supplied by Parallels/Odin, it is (for some strange reason) preconfigured with upstart. Upgrading such a system will usually result in the removal of upstart and then you won't be able to start your VPS again because OpenVZ doesn't find upstart any more. I didnt try upgrading while forcing upstart to stay installed but I guess it would fail anyway because of some other incompatibility (glibc/kernel or something else). The best and probably only way to get Devuan working in a OpenVZ-VPS would be if someone built an OpenVZ-template for it.
