Moon requires the date to be set to a reasonably current date – there is already a ticket open for me to improve the fail case (I'll likely raise a warning dialogue strip if your current date is out of ranfe), and/or re-write the calculations to be more date agnostic (big re-write and issues finding correctly Open Source licensed formulas we can distribute with reasonable accuracy).

Yes 11.3.1 (XO-1.75) is fairly unusable for me (a step back from the 883 provisional release which works well enough for me to develop on). It seemed to install and boot well, and I was really pleased to hear the sound working, clear and loud (start-up chime and some tinkering with aplay from Terminal). From then on it is pretty unusable, with the near instant dropping to the console after every 5-10sec of inactivity, which on wake seems to scramble the trackpad calibration (though thankfully the touch screen still functions); refusing to wake from a suspend and so needing hard power down (which can then trigger other issues).
