For now yeah, you shouldn't carry over any saves. Maps are being swapped out with new ones and game flow/triggers are being cleaned up, etc. Hope is once we hit 0.1 we can start carrying over saves most of the time.
Also plan to add in some QoL stuff for those that play each patch such a start selector and in-game patch notes.
There is also the "fast" option to speed through dialogue faster than the speed of sound. I know this has been a life saver for me haha.
