I did not - I have a poor mental problem when it comes to free trials for games. I get hooked on stuff too quickly and I really want to give ole Shroud there time to get all the bugs fixed.
Is it stable? Are any of us?
So far actually yes! Now I will say that starting out I had a few issues: The HUD map would act up, I would lag like crazy in player-built times loading all their stuff, and the game would take forever to exit when I quit.
HOWEVER.. Once I upgraded my RAM from 8 to 16 GB, it's playing smooth as glass. I haven't had any issues with bugged quests or really any bugs in general. By looking at their forums, it seems that a lot of that was sorted out months before the free trial.

You can buy some pretty good assets on the Unity store these days. So if you have a bit of money and some talent, you can make a game that looks like a AAA title from the past.
(If you lack the talent part, you end up with one of the asset flips that are drowning out other games on Steam.)
The high RAM recommendation (12 GB) for this game is due in a big part because it was built in Unity. Wasteland 2 which was also built in Unity got gripes for it being "too hardware demanding for how the game looks" basically. I'm not one to bitch about such things though.. few dev teams have the time to build a game engine and development tools completely from scratch.
