Looks like it shares some CAPsMAN/wifi stuff, but new things are introduced (like "Radio Configuration" and "Network Configuration", though there is a "Network" tab) which are not part of the /interface wifi settings.
Will it replace...I have no clue. Maybe in time when all necessary stuff is available?
I guess it does not replace CAPsMAN. IIRC documentation states that roaming and the like are not supposed. You can set up several individual APs, but not one huge network with roaming. The latter is still territory for CAPsMAN.

now on hap ax S 5Ghz Tx Rate in registration is stuck at 6.0Mbps and transmit speed does not exceed ~50-60Mb/s
Curious if down the road if that's territory CMR will cross into eventually. Not going to lie exciting stuff! The UI for web-fig for CMR is also looking really nice. Can't wait to see what they cook up.
To free up the absolute maximum amount of space...
a netinstall also clears away certain temporary files left over from the migration between the two versions....
My poor RB1100Ahx that I use as my initial ginny pig has seen >1000 upgrades/downgrades and never netinstall'ed in it now ~10 year life.... So the beta freed up about 5-10MB, but still 50+MB of unaccounted for files. So it's a "light cleaning", so @rextended point is very valid still.... Now I was close needing netinstall even it had 128MB, but at this rate I have a few more beta->rc->stable->.... cycles before needing. And I don't netinstall it, to test upgrades work over time - without netinstall - since I have production things in hard to get places where a netinstall be costly.
Something to make it feel better, instead of throwing everything together which makes everything too messy. You should split them into four different categories,
I am no designer or UX expert just my two cents. Also short disclaimer these photos were made with claude, I don't typically use AI but I can't design anything to save my life.
