On an actually serious note, Dwarf Fortress does have this thing where its first few releases after a major update often have big glitches. Not always game-breaking, but they are pretty big and immersion-breaking. 40.01 had save corruption bugs so bad it broke compatibility with future versions, 42.01 had the cats die of inebriation due to licking alcohol (though that one's just funny), 47.04(?) made the dwarves a bit too stressed (especially due to random corpses)...
I'd say delay buying it for a few more versions. I'm sure there's gonna be bugs introduced by the graphics overhaul, or bugs that resurface because of said overhaul. I mean, Toady fully admits to the game being an alpha, but just bear that in mind if you want to really get immersed into DF (again). At least download the Classic version first, since that's free and is otherwise the exact same game as the premium one, sans the tileset.
Plus, it takes some time for DFHack to get updated for the new version. Keep that in mind if you care about that. You could wait for a bit for the nightly builds, but now you're basically becoming a bug tester for two projects at once, and it'll be harder to keep track of if a bug you encounter comes from DFHack or DF itself. I'd suggest the Itch versions in that case, just so that you can keep a fresh unmodded copy on hand.
