Should I wait for 1.0?

As the title says. I played this game a bit ago on Xbox, around the time they added a wide open area and the different buildings for visitors, forget most of it but my question is should I wait to play again until 1.0? I hate to start a game and have much of it change again in a month. Is there a way to play 1.0 early and stay in the beta till 1.0. I am not opposed to beta's, I often do them just because its better typically(more updates on some titles) or am I stuck waiting? If not, those who played that beta 1.0, will the early gameplay change so much that it makes it worth the wait? Such as QoL changes, the way things are done changes, etc.
