Anyone installing it on older Macs? Catalina had an improved performance compared with Mojave on my MBA 2013, but I'm hesitant about Big Sur.

My personal rule is to never install a new version of macOS until it hits the first point version, so 10.16.1 in this case, that usually resolves the very worst bugs it ships with.
It's 11.0, and the initial release is actually 11.0.1, so there's that!
Ha, good point - so maybe I'd counsel waiting for 11.1.1...
11.1, you mean.
Runs outstanding on both of my Broadwell based devices.

MacBook Air (11-inch, Early 2015) and iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2015).

It's fine on a 2015 13" MBP. Compared to recent ones, the beta was pretty uneventful.
2014 MBP user here. Didn't notice much difference performance-wise.
