Update (2024-09-23): David C. Shamino:

I installed the macOS 14.7 update this morning and now I’m quite nervous.

When I logged back in after the upgrade, I got a dialog that says the system was not shut down properly, then asking me if I want to restore the apps that were running prior to shutdown or not. And a few minutes later, it kernel panicked.

David C. Shamino:

Well, it appears that my kernel panics aren’t done. Even though I seemed to have successfully rolled back my system to 14.6.1, and I am no longer getting a kernel panic within a few minutes after a reboot, I just suffered another panic today (5-6 days later).

[…]

BridgeOS is the firmware running in the T2 chip. I think rolling back to 14.6.1 did not roll-back the BridgeOS firmware.

Don't know about anyone else, but iMessages has been a disaster on my Mac since I installed 18 on my iPad this afternoon. Goodness only knows what's going on, but I can't send messages from Mac and, on reboot, can't even sign in to iMessage from my Mac any more. I also got "There's a new iPad using Messages" or whatever the alert on my Mac and iPhone after the iPad was done. I think I've seen that before, but... well, I'm having a hard time writing this up to coincidence. /sigh

I feel like QA at Apple remains broken, but perhaps I'm seeing ghosts.
