I hope not. New releases like that tend to have some bugs on the .0 version that were missed in development. And then it may still take some time for all software to be tested and updated to support the new version.
I would wait for half a year for all software to be updated and most upstream bugs to be solved.
1000% correct .
Admin:
Many of the bumps you’re talking about happened because:
Updating from PHP 7 to PHP 8 was quite a bit leap.
They made some changes to how PHP is setup in the first place (with all the disabled functions and extensions and so on).
The PHP installation on free hosting used to contain a lot of custom patches (for example to provide mysql_* functions on PHP 7). With the PHP 8 upgrade, a lot of those customizations were thrown out to make things simpler and more standard. And instead of trying to make PHP 8 work on CentOS 6 (which some servers still run), everything now runs on new AlmaLinux servers.
Because of the simplification, building PHP 8.3 for free hosting should be much simpler. And since “the bullet has been bit” with the PHP 8.2 update to simplify things, the number of changes should be much smaller too.
And because all servers were just upgraded to new AlmaLinux, it’s a lot more feasible to just update PHP in-place and not rebuild and migrate all the servers.
The PHP 8.2 upgrade was painful because it included a lot of extra changes to make things simpler. The PHP 8.3 upgrade is where we can bear the fruits of these changes and have a fast and smooth upgrade.
and again 1000% correct, once were happy with how php 8.3 has shaped up and that common scripts are working well with it, we can now very easily push an upgrade, without any of the previous ‘bumps’ .
in summary, the previous upgrade was agreed quite painful 7-8 involved lots of moving parts needing to be changed, and many hours / micro changes needing committed, however any upgrades moving forward will be far far less impacting.

I was one of the first ones to notice and also Googled it out again… That’s also strange, as every request returns 200 anyway, but not for Facebook!

I hate FileZilla. When I downloaded my website files, ALL of my files had that glitch where the newlines would be duplicated. I used RegEx to find \n\n and replace \n. A post on the internet said if you set the transfer mode to binary, it would be fixed. I have not tried it yet but hopefully, it works.
