Surprised the final hasn't hit yet, think there is still something they wanted to get done first or were these bugs just so late to fix that they just want more testing time? Starting to consider enrolling my daily P7P...

I appreciate that they are taking their time to finish it instead of rushing.

Starting to consider enrolling my daily P7P...

I would suggest to stick to the stable release. Daily driving beta is great until you hit a snag.

Are there any features that you'd like to have?

I see few reasons to upgrade, to be honest.

The Android beta community isn't very active, so I'll repeat my comments here. With Beta 5.2 my battery life and SOT improved noticeably, and so far, with 5.3, seem to be just as good.
