There are many theories regarding how Netgear releases firmware. I have never seen an actual statement from Netgear explaining the process. Fortunately, there is no urgency to update firmware unless the Orbi is not performing as expected and the release notes mention a change that addresses the problem.
My own practice is to wait a minimum of 2-3 weeks to let the "early adopters" discover if it is safe to update or not.
I just upgraded after having lots of issues with the previous fireware and so far so good (2 days in).
I normally wait as well, but needed to start fresh and just went for the latest.
