Just saw the Vault 1.20 release notes - anything actually useful?

I've been trying to get a handle on Vault for our event management system, mostly for storing API keys and some basic client data. Every new release has a long list of features, but sometimes it's hard to tell what's a major improvement versus a minor update.

I just skimmed the 1.20 release notes. The "Vault Enterprise Seal Wrapping" for HSM auto-unseal caught my eye, but we're not on Enterprise. The "Additional OIDC Identity Groups" in the JWT auth method seems potentially relevant for our user access, and I noticed they've added a new `vault debug` command. The "AppRole Secret ID Generation" update also looked like a small quality-of-life thing.

For someone still learning the ropes, are any of these 1.20 changes actually useful in practice for a mid-sized setup? Or is this more of a release for larger, complex deployments? I'm trying to figure out if I should prioritize testing the upgrade or if I can wait for a more feature-packed version. I'd love to hear what more experienced users are focusing on.
