No matter how many times I reset my game and get new saves, since I downloaded 0.6 I cannot stock running into the jabberwock right outside my evac shelter. I cannot outrun it no matter how hard I try and there’s no killing it… anyone else having this problem? Happened to me 5 times in a row so far lol

There’s a commit that makes them massively rarer, but I’m pretty sure it was after 0.6.  
Play the Nightly build.

Smash a bench, grab the splintered wood, drop it at the Jabberwock’s feet, light it on fire.

Generally not much more then the official releases (occasionally we get a serious bug we missed when merging, but usually those are addressed pretty quickly). In fact a lot of the time the nightly builds are probably less buggy (since we’ve merged a lot of bug-fixes).

As for save compatibility, they are getting better, but we still tend to break save compatibility every few days. If you don’t want to deal too much with save compatibility I suggest that you only update when you get tired of a given world.
