Without getting into detail on our own personal OPSEC, are there some general best practices to follow to avoid having a dawn raid turn into a life-ruining catastrophe?

Prepare decoys, clearly labeled. Feed the popo with what they want. Whatever you don't want to fall into their hands store it where it is unreachable.

Make sure no hardware or data you don't want found at your premises - encrypted or not. Plausible deniability works far better than a drive or laptop being found and your refusal to unencrypt it. In some countries like South Africa it is illegal not to comply with a request to decrypt and is punishable by imprisonment. You can see the various laws for countries below.
