For what it is worth I used beta 5 for the first time today. I have two other backups from before my Catalina install (and Dropbox and TimeMachine) so I wasn't too concerned about it stuffing up.

My previous SD backup USB disk from Mojave failed SD's attempts to convert it to APFS so I followed the instructions and erased it and did a full backup from the beginning. I thought it was pretty fast - 308 GB in 1 hour 50 minutes with the USB 3 hard disk hanging of a USB 3 hub then into a USB-C MacBook Pro. The backup disk booted the laptop OK. Didn't seem to be anything jumping out at me in the log as wrong.

Interesting when I just went to eject the USB backup drive by dragging it to the trash Finder warned me there were two volumes mounted which I guess there are. I thought the Finder might just treat them as one ?? No big deal I just clicked on the Eject Both option.
