A bit scared of updating to 12.3

[askunk]

I have successfully updated to OC 0.7.9 (OC Auxillary Tool is amazing!), have enabled SIP and got Sys Prefs asking me to update to 12.3.

However, just as a precaution, I tried to launch the 12.3 full installer from a bootable USB with my working EFI and it got stuck twice during boot. Does this mean I will get stuck during the update, as well?

What should I do if that happens? Will I be able to access the recovery partition and resume the old TM backup? I do not have the 12.2 installer, therefore I am scared I won't be able to install macOS from scratch, in case I need to.

Done. Thank you! I initially forgot to refresh my config.plist
The full installer actually starts now, but it leads to the recovery GUI. Not sure whether this is a good sign or not.
I was expecting a macOS installer window, instead I find the typical "restore from backup - reinstall macOS - etc." options window.

Would you suggest me to run the update or am I still at risk that it falls as well into the recovery mode?

Ok. I found the answer on my own. Writing it here in case it helps others:

The full installer always goes to the recovery GUI when macOS is already installed. I checked that also the 12.2 does the same.

Therefore, I should be good to go for 12.3. I will just wait a few more days perhaps, as I see that a few people had GPU issues.

Thank you, @tatofuma !
