SharePoint 2019 recomendations

I work for a state government agency and we are planning on building a new SharePoint environment (on-premise). Our license allows us to install either 2016 or 2019. Sometimes it's good to not install a new product right away until some of the bugs are worked out. Since 2019 was just released in October, I was wondering everyone thoughts regarding installing 2019. Has anyone gone to 2019 yet? Do you recommend waiting a few months before going to 2019? Should we stick with 2016 or go with the latest? Any feedback is appreciated.

    My recommendation here is to go to SharePoint 2019...in the core is a SP 2016 with some modern features we have in SPO

      Thanks, Juan. 

       

      If someone has a custom application (built in 2010) and it's migrated to the new environment, it wouldn't make a difference if it's 2016 or 2019, correct? I mean as far as compatibility is concerned. In other words, any compatibility issues in 2016 would also occur in 2019.
