If you go beyond the first page you will see more, including data loss after a few days of usage and during setup. I'm not trying to be negative, I was just pointing out the results of my own research into this question when I was considering to try High Sierra beta. It's not "zero issues" as the original author wrote.

Mind linking to one? I can't find anything that has data loss in the subject and most of the other threads are not about APFS. The only one I can still see is regarding a kernel panic but it doesn't give any details, just an assumption that the issue is with APFS.

    All of those, bar one, are from previous versions (not the latest GM) of High Sierra, and then it's not certain that that was what they were using. So granted, you have managed to find up to one case of what you were saying.
