The latest "non beta" firmware is easily installed using the K3 Utility accessing the Elecraft file server. If you feel more comfortable with that version, please install it. It is entirely up to you. Beta firmware in a radio isn't like a Beta version of an operating system that might corrupt the file system. It takes about five minutes or less to completely replace firmware.
