Any success with the new Site Design functionality?

The new Site Design PowerShell commands starting to work for me this morning so I created my first script and site design.  The new design appears in the choices when I create a new team site but none of the actions in my script are followed.  Has anyone else had success?

This is the sample JSON to create an issues list and set the theme to a custom one I have in my tenant.  I have been changing the version number as I made updates"

{
    "$schema": "schema.json",
        "actions": [
            {
                "verb": "createSPList",
                "listName": "Issue Tracking",
                "templateType": 1100,
                "subactions": [
                    {
                        "verb": "SetDescription",
                        "description": "List of Porject Issues"
                    }
                ]
            },
            {
                "verb": "applyTheme",
                "themeName": "Black n Blue"
            }
        ],
        "bindata": { },
        "version": 1.2
}

    And if I run a Get-SPOSiteScript after, the Content is empty.  I tried using a file reference as well as passing in a string for the Content parameter.

      The Content is returned if I specify the ID so it definitely has the definition

        Not yet unfortunately, it looks like this hasn't fully rolled out to targeted release tenants yet.

         

        I've got several site designs and their associated site scripts in place but none are being applied on site creation at the moment. On Team Sites (via O365 Groups) I'm receiving no prompts.

         

        When creating Communication Sites with a custom Site Design, I am seeing the processing pane but it just hangs at initialization (see screenshot).
