I would suggest waiting for the release, then reading comments by people who upgrade before you do.
Also, AppleVis usually publishes a summary of new features and changes after each major release, together with notes on any remaining bugs relevant to VoiceOver users.

I'm probably going to upgrade to it but I want to find out how certain things are working in it like Apple Mail before I do it.

I don’t have time right now to give detailed instructions, but if you interested reply back with a key. Note in Catalina and higher, vo-Q toggles quicknav qwerty controls. In my default configuration, option Q does not mapped to anything, so that is probably a good keystroke to assign to toggle QuickNav.

Then while continuing to hold down the VO + CMD keys, use the up or down arrows to navigate by the selected option. Option 2: Assuming you are using a MacBook Pro or Air, turn on the trackPad commander using VO plus a clockwise 2-finger rotor action on the trackpad. Then use the rotor to select either characters or words, then use a one finger flick either up or down to navigate by the selected option.
