What has anyone actually experienced in making the change from a third class
medical to the Sport Pilots "driver" license?

My insurance company has said "no problem unless the policy specifically
states a third class medical is needed" (it doesn't).

I've decided to do this when my current medical expires in December.
The insurance representative told me not to worry about the fact that
there's no check box on the application: "You're still a private
pilot, but you'll be flying under Sport Pilot rules."

Just to be on the safe side, I will write beside it that I am using
Sport Pilot privileges.
