This seems like a small update, but I certainly like the battery lifespan change. Always good to have more battery life. The Facetime one seems quite popular with people too. I believe there is some security updates / fixes and that is always good.
I have updated on 2020 MacBook Air and had no issues, and it was fairly quick compared to some updates.
