For me, Catalina worked fine since I’ve installed Beta 2 last summer.
Even the usual suspects, VMWare, Vagrant/VirtualBox and Homebrew survived the update just fine.
I see no crashes (at least not more than the usual once-every-two-months need to reboot), nor other weirdness. Compared to Mojave, even the random Bluetooth disconnects I had with my Magic Trackpad stopped happening.
Of course this is total non-news and I’m not going to publish a blogpost saying that Catalina is fine for me nor would that reach, much less survive on, the front page of any news aggregator if I actually were to write such a blog post.
Unfortunately, we only read about people having issues and we conclude that everybody must have problems.

Same for me - I'm so glad those bluetooth problems have been solved! On Mojave, I had to plug in the lightning cable every few hours to reconnect the trackpad.
