Whats the word around here about the 16" being on 10.15.5? Who is having no problems or even solutions to previous problems on the 16" with this update?

I'm on 10.15.3 still and have been afraid to hit the button due to some of the stuff I've been reading. I know that this has been discussed a bit but I'd like some fresh perspectives after some of you guys have been running your 16s with this update for a few days.

I've found recently that my 16" won't stay awake when in clamshell (again on 10.15.3) - it appears to for about 10 seconds then it goes to sleep, even if I'm actively typing/clicking. Not sure why this happening, but it's not a kernel panic like people are reporting, I don't think. I'm wondering if updating will solve this issue or make it worse.

Against my initial gut feeling, I went ahead and upgraded my MBP16 from .3 to .5. It's working perfectly for me so far, BUT (and it's a big but), I almost never let it go to sleep... I use Amphetamine to keep it awake even when the lid is closed so that backups can run overnight. So, I don't know whether or not I'd otherwise be plagued with issues waking from sleep.

I just experienced this for the first time ... 16" won't stay awake...and I couldn't get to "wake". Gawd, I can't wait to replace this machine. 2021 with mini-LED machines can't come fast enough.
