I think I will wait till the final build gets released. Don't get me wrong, I'm very tempted to upgrade but I think my best cause of action is to wait.
I don't have any hacks installed so I don't think there will be any issues when I do make the upgrade.
More likely it'll come from the users. As quickly as new vB versions come out there are many who'll take the chance and apply their current hacks on the new version. I don't think a forum is necessary, but rather than having people confirming whether or not hacks work all over the place, it may be a good idea to have at the very least, a centralized thread for them to post in.
MOST of the 3.5 hacks will probably work. All of my hacks are working except for the VbAdvanced Gallery! (such as vbaracde, plaza, webtemplates, dynamic forum home announcements, vbpager, ect)
I have ibproarcade, hackdb lite, last seen online, local date and time in postbit, who has visited in last 24 hours, who has registered today, topxstats, who's online in ACP, advanced product manager, and more installed with no problems. I did have problems with the event forums modification though so ended up removing it.

I'm sure there are more that work, but I've cut back on the number of modifications installed since 3.6.0 as I don't need a lot of them now as they are default functions so I haven't been checking every single one.
