I loaded the January image a few days ago, and it's a remarkable improvement over the last image I tried a couple months ago, even running from a micro SD card. I'm excited by this progress. 
Power management does seem much better - left off the charger overnight, more than 2/3 battery was remaining the next morning. Charging topped out at 91% (which seems similar to expected behavior on other OSes). After leaving the phone to charge the following night, it wouldn't wake from sleep and required a hard power cycle.
Wi-fi seems to disconnect every time the screen goes to sleep though, which I think is not good behavior.
Some other issues I've encountered so far: Volume control doesn't seem to work. Playing music, as well as the Sailfish OS 3.0 video included in the image, is always at maximum volume regardless of the setting (including muted).
The amount that the screen is dimmed in power saving mode seems to be a simple offset. If the screen backlight is not at maximum brightness when power saving is enabled, the brightness level is reduced to zero, and in practice it is impossible to restore the screen to useable brightness without a power cycle.
E-mail account setup was easy, though the default app crashes when I try to open individual messages. Nextcloud integration loaded my calendars without a problem, though there doesn't seem to be a way to retrieve files from the server.
I have not yet tried a valid SIM card, so I can't comment on calls or messages.
