This doesn't seem like a great idea, I don't want to use release candidates for my daily runner.
The time between "start integrating" for an Ubuntu release and the actual Ubuntu release, is typically a full kernel release cycle IIRC. It takes months before it is actually released. Once it's in your daily driver, it won't be a release candidate kernel anymore.
Not supporting a newly bought modern computer out of the box is pretty bad for an OS that claims to be accessible and easy to use. So I understand the shift.
I trust their testing process is adequate to ensure stability at release.
