Speculating here, but I really wonder how long ago the Bitwig team started to work on this transition to a completely new GPU based UI system. Maybe (?) this was already the reason for the smaller scopes of new features for a while (because this was taking away capacity for more time than just this beta). As a developer, I can roughly imagine how difficult and big of a project such a complete rewrite of a major component (and a very complex one) may be.
With all the slight differences in computers, operating systems, GPUs and drivers, this is really hard to get stable. But once such a major rewrite is done and it happens with enough time and care, it can bring the foundations on a new level.
So I would propose to be patient and supportive with the Bitwig team here. It's a difficult thing they're doing here and it's good that they have such an open and iterative beta, so all those unexpected bugs can be figured out.
Also I kind of hope that once the transition to this new UI layer is done, the team can focus on the DAW features again.
