I tend to stay away from the betas as well. I only have my primary iPhone and my primary MBP, so I don't want to risk running betas on them. If I had any secondary devices, I would probably try out the betas, especially the iOS 17 beta since I am desperate for even semi-usable autocorrect.

I used to use AlDente. It seemed to work fine for me in Big Sur, but with Monterey and beyond, it wasn't working reliably for me. Sometimes my MBP would charge up to 100%, even with AlDente running and configured correctly.
