Mattias Skog that appears to be a Teams Public preview setting, which is different from our labeling of Viva Connections all up as being in a Public Preview. Either way, the updates should have rolled to all production tenants by now. You should be able to see the dashboard creation options from your home site, and from within Teams Admin Center you should be able to manage the Viva Connections app itself, which should be visible in its default "Blocked by publisher" state.

Anthony DeVergillo, thanks for your feedback! As you can imagine we are just getting started with Viva Connections, and have a backlog of features we look forward to sharing more about as we make progress beyond our general availability. Some of what you suggest is already under consideration for future updates. GrahamKent and Scott Stewart as FYI.
