Are there any problems installing Ubuntu on a Lenovo Yoga 730-15IWL?
I tried the USB-version and everything seemed to work fine in the temporary system

There were no problems during install. Just install Ubuntu on a USB device with UNetbootin (This can keep the existing data on your USB device and just add the install-image as extra folders).
(I guess it will be exactly the same on Yoga 730-13IWL)
But these are the optimizations I did after install:
The new Intel i5 CPU 8th generation is great in speed, but on the cost, that if there are some CPU-intense applications, the fan is running all the time, I tend to disable turbo-boost after the system is running as described here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/547261/20661
The Lenovo has no ethernet port and no sdcard reader slot, so it is useful to get a "USB 3.1-Hub with sd Ethernet-Adapter"

Screen rotation works out-of-the-box on Ubuntu, you can turn it on and off in the top-right corner menu, but only 180°. If you need to rotate 90° you can add a shortcut to CTRL+F8 to rotate by setting
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter.keybindings rotate-monitor "['XF86RotateWindows', '<Control>F8']"
