If they're not your daily drivers you could if you want. If they are your daily drivers I advise against it as it's the early stages of a whole new iOS release.
this is the best first-beta experience i've had on ios; right now, EVERYTHING works. (will give it another point-update or two to screw that up perhaps). but all good here...
While it is a good beta experience it’s still a beta nonetheless.
of course it's a beta. but my SE seems to be running better than it ever has (had it since the SE came out)...
I updated my 6 to the iOS 12 Public Beta, and have been pleased. It is faster and more responsive than 11.4, and I have run into only one minor bug.
It *is* possible to do a backup via tethered USB backup to iTunes - if you do so, you can downgrade to iOS 11 and that backup. See:

Just make sure you have a good tethered encrypted backup while on iOS 11. Or do a cloud back up then turn off auto backup so your phone won’t do one while on iOS 12.
You can roll back to the current release version anytime you want. IF you have an iOS 11 backup you will be able to use that file to restore once you’ve reinstalled the current release iOS 11.
However, if your backup was overwritten by a backup while on iOS 12 then it won’t work during restore as it will tell you that backup will only work with iOS 12.
Hence the recommendation to do a tethered backup while on iOS 11. Then continue doing cloud backup for iOS 12. This way you’ll have a backup of each version of iOS.

Honestly then you shouldn’t post. Cause you’re passing bad info.

Just wanted to add that iOS 12 pb1 works fine on my 5S, not slower than iOS 11, if anything it feels faster.
From my experience, iPhone SE handles iOS 11.4 just fine, but at this point you might also wait a few months until September, as iOS 12 is meant to make all the devices snappier.
