As an internal tester I really cannot comment on the struggle, however I did recently start playing a20 again just to get a better feel for the changes. And to be perfectly honest, I can see where some changes to mechanics like the magazines will take a little getting used to. However other mechanics like the glass jars, and skill changes are not noticeable. Then you have things like the network improvements and interactions with the other entities/NPC's which are almost night/day improvements.
(Note that I prefer melee/stealth and use firearms secondary.)Since we are probably a couple of weeks from a new build dropping, I would go ahead and play some for a refresher. Besides, it isn't like the build dropping is going to be stable. You are expected to wipe your saves pretty regularly during experimental. Stable is going to be a month or so after stable releases. So if you're worried about losing save data, you have at least a month and a half from now to enjoy the game.
Also note that you can right now lock the client into a20.7 so that it doesn't automatically update to a21 in a month or so when that goes to the Stable branch. Then you can upgrade and restart whenever you desire.
