How safe is it to try 3.3.0 Rokua?

Or, in other words, do you expect another test version of 3.3 before it becomes official? I have never before read about so many critical problems with an early access release; and I've never before not installed an early access release myself. The 2 things I'm asking myself are:

  1. Is it worth waiting for a new version with those problems fixed? Or Is your impression that these are the usual hiccups and I'll just have to live with the risk?
  2. Are all problems solved meanwhile or do the solutions only apply to the individual cases? I see a lot of problems/questions, some solved, some not, a lot of them referring to solutions in other threads... I'm no longer sure if we have basically 3 major problems that can be easily avoided with some precautions before upgrading... or if there's x users with a bunch of issues and nothing in common. :(

Is there a helpful soul out there who has tracked the situation more systematically and can offer an educated guess?

Answering my own question - the unusual long time between early access and final release maked me not install it at the moment. Seems there is something fishy after all...
