I updated from 26.2 to 26.3 without any issues yesterday. I see no reason to wait for any timeframe as these updates always feature bug fixes and other improvements. I have been applying point updates or major upgrades to macOS for decades and have never been "bitten" by either.


If it applies to you, follow the corporate guidelines for operating system updates.

What exactly would make you ask this question ?


There appear to be many Security and Bug Fixes


About the security content of macOS Tahoe 26.3


Is there something specific that you know that we do not know about Tahoe 26.3


FYI


Downloaded Tahoe 26.3 Wednesday on a M2 Mac Mini as well as on a M4 15" MBA - took from start to final report into Tahoe 26.3 - 10 minutes over a 6E Fibre Optic connection


As per the Software Update applet - the update constituted a 12.56 GB Download


All good and no issues


Today, Thursday, did same on a M4 Mac Mini - 10 minutes start to finish
