Not just networking issues, there are plenty of reports with external drives having problems as well.

I usually wait for a .4 update before upgrading. One time around Catalina there was a bug that broke USB-C docks.. Oh cool none of my devices work.

Interestingly in that thread, 'Intel' is not mentioned once.

This reminds me of a joke about "windows users waiting for the service pack while macos is always stable" that a friend always rubbed in my face whenever I had some issue with windows a decade ago.

And that I just sent a message yesterday to my team to wait before installing sequoia... But now I'll use your target of .4.

That's the trick for stability on MacOS, wait a few versions after a major. Done this for a few years now and I have had no problems. When they change OS APIs, it happens on a major point zero release. Another good reason to wait is many apps aren't ready in time for the changes. I'll install a point 2 or a point 3 if it looks like a good release, but it looks like this isn't one of them. My pro tip for finding out whether its a good upgrade or not is the macrumors article comments, I'll scan through and see what people are saying about the update.
