That's a tough one to answer, Ryan. Given that the project spans years, it would be unreasonable to expect one to stay on the same version of Resolve for that entire time (assuming you could benefit from the new features released in the past few versions). I'd be concerned that some bug along the way might interfere with you being able to, for example, deliver to YouTube, etc. so I guess it depends on your timeframe. If you are going to be be working on this project six months from now when v20 is stabilized then perhaps you are ok with a beta release but make manual backups of projects regularly (outside the automatic backups) and be prepared for some unexpected crashing along the way. You might also want to stay away from some of the new features (or at least be prepared for the sorts of issues reported in this thread).
Others may have a different perspective on this, of course. Good luck - sounds like a fascinating project.
Add - the whole wifi thing is a bit odd - you don't have a NAS or some other storage device connected wirelessly, do you?
