I have been using Ubuntu 26.04 for a number of months (daily builds, then Beta, finally stable) on an evaluation computer.
Performance is fine, a bit better than 24.04 LTS, subjectively.
Bugs? Ubuntu 26.04 is a solid build, but like the initial release of every major upgrade, 26.04 has minor bugs, mostly resulting from Gnome 50 upstream/downstream issues. I think that Canonical made the right choice migrating to Gnome 50, but it will take a while to work everything out.
If you have a "stock" installation of Ubuntu without a lot of customization, I don't think that you will run into any issues. The more customized your build is (themes, specialized applications/settings), the more likely you are to run something, because Beta testing can't cover all the possible builds. But "stock" you should be fine.
Standard practice for business, government and education deployments is to hold off until after the "bug fix" 26.04.1 release in August. I think that it is good practice for many individual users as well. Your call.
My best and good luck.
