Bought the game yesterday, wanna start playing today. Wanted to wait for the patch. No worries about the delay but will the patch break savegames?

The patches should not break the saved games.

What has changed compared to beta?

Official updates are usually not that different from betas. Main difference is that we're confirming that the changes from the betas have been tested, verified, and we would recommend that players update to the latest. Betas are inherently more unstable.
