Using a final with a brand new filesystem. Nothing bad will come from that.

The same file system has been working on millions of iPhones and iPads already.

It's not for free. It's for a preview of upcoming attractions. If that's of any value to you, you install the update. If it's not, you ignore it. Who, in their right mind, would install an iOS beta if they weren't interested?
