Okay, I was on the beta for this until going back to Virtue a few days ago. Let me note that yeah, the Incarnate stuff is a blast.
Some specific comments:
If you're a flier with ranged attacks, you can short-circuit about 85% of the first mish of Ramiel's arc -- by going around the back and shooting at everyone there. Not that you actually need to, with the way things go, but... if for some reason you want to speedrun it, there you go.
Unless it's something that got changed, you don't need to go on TFs for shards -- we discovered the repeatable timed missions in Cimerora gave shards when the team was all Incarnates. You're also not just looking for shards, there's an entire new class of salvage that opens up for incarnates -- and it's untradeable. This salvage is offered as a reward option when you complete the L50 TFs now. However, part of what you can do with shards is turn them into that salvage. Plus one type is buyable in the RWZ with Vanguard points.
Other things I noticed:
It looks like Trial Zones are getting expanded explore badges, just as the main city zones did a couple issues back -- at least I specifically noticed that Boomtown now had more badges and a potential accolade.
Every tram station goes to every other tram station now. The destinations now list their level ranges -- and are flagged if you have a mission there. Oh, and the font's changed on the destination menu.
The exit-to-toon-select is very useful.
ETA: Not a beta comment per se, but... I started a Legendary Beta branch on the Beta server. Right now there are just two of us in it, but next time some of us are on a beta, everyone's welcome to invites. Pity we can't carry the base design over...

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.
