You might want to put this one off for a bit.

Looks like it's mainly effecting those running raid partitions.

Mainly, maybe. but I tend to try and stay away from any update that could possibly cause corruption or data loss. Here's some more data.

I learned the hard way to wait a while before installing any major updates. Case in point was during the 1709 update and it disabled any and all of my sound card devices.

Yeah, sounds like there is some of that in this update also. Used to be a good idea to keep up to date with the latest updates. Now it seems like gambling on if each update will fix or break more stuff.

I'm really starting to think about looking into linux distros etc, "10" is really starting to wear on me.

I'm hearing that Ubuntu has come a long way. And can even play most steam games on it.

Here is the link to the live version if you want to download it.
Ubuntu 20.04 download

Just burn it to a dvd or create a USB boot drive and you can boot to it without installing anything. If you want to try it before you commit to it.
