Putting this post up so that I don't have to come back here every few days to check if bugs have been found and fixed and concensus that it's all ok to proceed.
Only reply when it's considered safe please!
Is this ok?

I'm not sure what you consider "safe", but... 14 seems to be running well for me, except for what appears to be a memory leak. After 4-5 hours of running memory starts to drop until Apple finally says I'm out at about 4gb of free ram. I'm running a M1 Mac book Pro with 64Gb of ram and all of LrC is on a 4tb ssd with about 1.5tb free space.

It is SAFE to install. Are there bugs? Sure! Some have yet to be discovered. V13.5.1 has bugs but you still installed it. It all depends on how risk averse you might be. AFAIK, no one has reported any show stopping errors. Many people will wait for the v14.1 update which is reasonable and can be expected in about 2 months.

There are no revolutionary new features in v14.0. So if you are not willing to take a risk and LrC v13.5.1 is working fine for you, stay there for a few more months.

I've been on it since 20 minutes after release and am happy with it. I do have some occasional memory leaks going on, but so far there is no evidence that Adobe is the source of the problem, as I have many other apps running. I'm liking 14!

Thanks. Following your advice to leave it a couple of months.
