I'm in the early access, and it is working great for certain forms. We wanted it because there are quite a few automations in our apps that create child records, and users kept having to refresh the parent to see the new child records. This feature has eliminated that entirely, which is fantastic.
That said, it does make the forms where it is enabled feel slower. Even if the initial load is faster, you don't notice that so much as you notice the fraction of a second you spend waiting on the reports to load. I feel that if it is enabled for all apps it should be off by default.
Another minor criticism I have is that the three different options in the form properties are not very descriptive. It took me a while before I figured out what each individual option would do for my form.
Would there ever be support for turning it on/off not just at the form level, but for individual reports? That would be a nice feature, as it would enable reports that don't require the feature to work as normal.
