Firmware still has a few changes in the works, but it's mostly cosmetic stuff at this point and I've been happily daily-driving mine for about a month - yes, it sufficiently replaced my aging desktop built around a Core i7-3770K! In fact, there's a handful of us using HCs as FreeBSD-13.0 desktops now.

Would running Debian GNU/Linux as host OS with FreeBSD guest in qemu/kvm
be a workaorund for the missing network support?
