How stable is Monterey for those that have been using it?
Ironically I just upgraded to Big Sur yesterday from Catalina. I think I'll probably wait again to let 3rd-party apps catch up.

So far I was fine with it though of course sometimes it's annoying to get the latest XCode (and iOS sdk) version for development, so I have to resort to a VM from time to time.

In the beginning it was awful for her. A lot of failures. However, after a couple of months it became quite stable, and she stopped complaining. The only thing that was kind of a nightmare was Xcode.
I'm updating it, and if I were you, I'd update right away too. There are many improvements.
Safari is also slightly better, although she dislikes the new way it organizes tabs.
That said, the thing she told me she liked the most, feature-wise related to her daily workflow, is the new Shortcuts app.
EDIT: I did not install it until the RC.
I intended to do the same this morning and literally witnessed the "Upgrade Now" change from Big Sur to Monterey as I was about to click it. Took me a while to find the appropriate link for Big Sur in the Mac App Store.
Other than those two things, it's been pretty solid lately.
Other than that, it seems more stable and faster than Big Sur, and that's without a clean install. Notes used to take 4 bounces to open on M1, now opens instantly. Haven't seen any crashing. No broken features that aren't brand new. I've only found one bug: Safari reopens private windows even if you turn that off. But no problem if you don't use Safari.
I’m running out of ideas on how to fix this.
