I kind of hate it. Every use of it in the videos shown so far has moments where it's so transparent as to have borderline unreadable contrast.

Same. And white on light blue is just as bad. Looks like I’ll be using more accessibility features.

This is the first time I have ever thought “maybe I don’t want to update my phone“. Entirely because of the look.

  • In Settings -> Accessibility -> Display, you can enable Increase Contrast or Reduce Transparency to get rid of some of the worse glass effects, and Settings -> Accessibility -> Motion, you can enable Reduce Motion to get rid of the some of the light effects for content passing under glass buttons.

The last example in the first carousel is the worst, the bottom glass elements have complete unreadable text

I agree with you, I hope they quickly tweak this into something more readable. There could be a really nice mid ground here.
