No, unless they change Apfs specification which they are not planning to do anytime soon.
On public beta, crashed on download, mid download, restarted finished download and update too place. Took 25 minutes.
version 19A512f.

Same here. Restarted and stuck at the same place. This beta release has been terrible.
Any ideas? Just stuck with the progress bar at 30% just left of the Apple logo. "estimated time remaining" showing under the bar.
Ok. Weird. I pressed a lot of keys and now it says "about 9 minutes remaining"

Nope. False alarm. Stuck again. This is great

Updating Catalina betas for me is a total mess, hard to update when one hasn't got a lot of free space, system reports available free space all over the place, for instance, I moved the installer to an external disk, deleted the original to gain....wait for it... just 1 GB, running the installer gave me the low on space warning, report free disk is always different from what Finder says, in shirt, a mess (Again, if you are low on disk space.
System also gets slower even when one has 10-15 GB left, never had these before.

Anybody else stuck on this screen? I don't even have a TM set up anymore, but there is a Backups.backupsdb folder in root category, which I cannot delete. Tried every solution I was able to google, even turned off SIP - no success. I do not really want to wipe the whole drive, so any suggestions for a fix are appreciated.

Haha I am! But it hasn’t been that long yet for me. Based on how long various icloud things have taken in the other betas I’m inclined to leave it sat in this position overnight and see if it ever moves of its own accord.
I really wish betas would be in verbose mode so we can always tell what’s happening.
What I figured out is that it is possible to delete certain files just after a restart, like you have root acmes, I for instance deleted the sleep image (for space constraints, this can be done just after a restart, but not after a set period of time, maybe a few minutes, it's like if you have root privileges in Terminal but after I think 5 minutes you loose those privileges again.
Might give not a try, don't blame me though if your system gets bogged up.
Does the Command-V work upon restart...., might give it a try next time.
Catalina asks you approve every single thing you do so I wouldn't even notice the difference.
Next year's version will require admin password for every keystroke. Security, after all.
I tried to do it right after reboot, tried Terminal commands with superuser privileges... Nothing helps.
TMSafetyNet prevents you from accidentally doing terrible things to your backups. If you're sure they're not needed and want the folder gone, you can use:
sudo /System/Library/Extensions/TMSafetyNet.kext/Contents/Helpers/bypass rm -rfv /Backups.backupsdb
Still stuck, if you touch the power button during update it will tell you that the Mac will restart after the update.. while writing this it continued to 50%. Hang on! 23 min remaining!
Tried that. Getting a "Read-only file system" and nothing changes

Mine is stuck on ‘Estimating time remaining’ with progress bar about midway between the m and a of estimating. Wondering if I should restart my laptop
I started mine, went on a walk for an hour, came back and it's done. Seems like the cloud stuff is working much better. Emptying the trash is working fine for me again. Photos seems to be syncing much better. I've not had time to do much beyond a few spot checks, but so far it's looking good for me.
