It is running just fine for me, but I do not see a great deal of new things that 1903 did not have.
There's anotherannoying quirkendearing feature you'll discover if you use @ to mention more than one name in a post - only one of then becomes a 'mention' when you submit the post. The trick is to edit the post, make no changes, just submit it again (and again) until all mentions are accepted. Each time you edit it, one more gets added.
Microsoft says that the 1909 version is "finalized" as build 18363.418 - written in this blog TH Oct. 10:
Getting the November 2019 Update Ready for Release | Windows Experience Blog
time to wait sometime in November to see how MS will deliver the upcoming 1909 release
I count on my CMD script to delay it indefinitely on my Windows Home, but you might prefer WAU Manager, recommended in this post: Enable or Disable Windows Update Automatic Updates in Windows 10
From Bleepingcomputer.com's "point of view" because of this article published last Wed Oct. 16:
Windows 10 1909 Is Almost Ready, What Developers Need to Know
1909 = 1903 SP1
2 things to keep in mind regarding 19H2 (1909). One, it will be an optional cumulative update. Meaning nothing will happen all by itself, therefore nothing to block and/or delay.
Windows 10 19H2 Is Now November 2019 Update [With Leaked Release Date]
"Microsoft also announced that this update will be available as an optional update via Windows Update and will be generally available at the end of October 2019 or at the start of November 2019."
Two, although internally at MS, 18362.418 is still considered the "Base" release build, we have all received several CU's bring the build to 18362.449. Same exact level as Release Preview at 18363.449. With ONE exception. Any features and 1909 specific fixes will only be unleashed when you get the Enablement Package CU.
From another TF post: From where can I obtain the Win 10 1909 Enablement Package?
"The enablement package will be available from windows update once 1909 is released. That is how this 'feature update' will work, a method that has already been tested on Insiders."
That will turn on all the Fall 1909-19H2 elements that are currently available in Release Preview 1909, 18363.449.
All these CU's we've been getting are "seeding" the 1903 build for the 1909 release. Pre-feeding, so to speak. When the Enablement Package is cut loose to the general public on or about November 12th, that will be the 19H2 release. A switch to turn on what's already being fed to us.
IF you choose to install the CU. It will be Optional.
