There will absolutely be fixes between now and release. These are the
release-critical bugs that are still open:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+bugs?field.milestone=1326

These are all bugs targeted for 8.10, some of them may be fixed, too:

I run 8.10 Beta and for me it works very well, but YMMV. In general,
note that releases that are not designated "LTS" include the newest
software and tend to have more bugs than LTS releases. So if you value
stability and absence of errors more than the newest features, stick to
8.04.
