The beta still has a couple problems but they have not messed with my day to day use much. I have been running it on my one and only IPhone 6s plus for a while now. I am sure face id will work just fine, with that being said I could still get the Iphone 8 plus and be happy. Matter a fact I might just do that because I don't feel like waiting until November. The watch is calling my name more though, so I could keep my 6s plus and just get a new watch.
