I have used the beamer export quite a few times with the new exporter,
and I'm very pleased with it.  I believe there is one backwards
incompatible change, apart from that I think it's mostly feature
enhancements.  I have been trying to write some of the things down as a
Worg article as preliminary documentation, but lately I have been
incredibly busy to make any significant progress.  I started from the
old beamer tutorial as a template on how to structure it.

Usually I also keep an eye out on the mailing list for questions related
to the beamer export with the new exporter (although lately I have been
much less active for the same reasons).

Maybe I should put whatever I have on Worg so that others can work on
it.  I'll try to find some time in the coming two weeks.

Hopefully this is a little reassuring.
