We are getting closer, the last beta has been pretty much flawless for me, glass has been toned a bit from my perception, and it's a good thing.

Too bad window corners are still too rounded for my tastes.

Yeah, I just don't get it. Way too rounded. I've submitted via Feedback Assistant an idea to put in the Accessibility options a way to reduce such. Would like for others to do the same.

I did the same. I suggested having a window control sizing option that, based on the size, would reduce the rounded edges as well.

It’s a bad idea to turn accessibility options into an area where you can customize the OS for non-accessibility reasons

They should just fix the main design. The corners are too rounded. It looks bad. Fix it. Simple as that
