Hi!
I was going to wait until at least the first update at 10.15.01 at least. However, due to the general chatter about Catalina, I went ahead and upgraded a couple weeks after it was released. Today the 10.15.1 update came out and I upgraded to it.
In hindsight, there was no reason for me to wait. The upgrade from Mojave went without a burp, and everything seems to work ok. My boot drive is encrypted and there was no issue relating to that either.
SOME people do have serious problems, and I have no idea why. However, the vast majority of folks have no serious problems relating to the Catalina release of the macOS. The 10.15.1 release adds some functionality and a few bug fixes. Nothing earth shattering. Probably the best reason to upgrade would be better security against various forms of malware.
The ONLY recommendation that I have regarding upgrading/updating the OS is to BACKUP immediately to a bootable clone of a working drive BEFORE updating. Then worst case you just boot from the backup to get back to a working boot drive. Easy peasy.

Whenever I bought a new car, I usually waited until the new or updated model is about a year old.
I've remained equally patient with MAC OS software, hoping by the time I update, the bugs have been weeded out.
Since I am a relative newbie to the world of technology, I have no idea whether what I'm doing is prudent or not.
