Already updated my F34 to the 35 beta. Very, very polished release (again). After using Linux for 20 years I'm finally having a desktop experience which is as good (or better) than Windows / OS X.

A nit to pick, but the original "Final Target Date" was always 10/26. 10/19 was the "Early Final Target Date".

Indeed. I distro hop more than is healthy for my spare time, but had always avoided Fedora after being forced to use RHEL as a desktop. But I've had it on a bunch of systems for several releases and the quality is very high.

Yeah it has been very stable for a long time now.
I even created a release for the Odroid XU4.

Hoping that we can use the Nvidia gbm driver from rpmfusion as well.
it requires some updated packages such as libglvnd which seem to be available for F35 only.
Let's hope for the best.

Is there a point in waiting until Tuesday, or will it be the exact same ISO file ?

I guess you can take current iso and run update on Tuesday.

The point of waiting would largely be a consideration of if you want to wait for a local mirror to catch up, read up on the release notes, being able to validate the image with the approved hashsum etc but the image itself should be identical.

ISO should be the same (although dnf system-upgrade will allow you to pull down the rpms appropriate for your system today) but there are a bunch of updates (currently in updates-testing) that have been held back during the release freeze that will be available on/about Tuesday, some of which one may care about (or not).
