Is it okay to start developing on MAUI in VS even tho its release date

Hello guys. Is it okay to start developing on MAUI in VS even tho its release date is now Q2 2022? Or better use Xamarin? I'm new in C# and want to build cross platform apps. So my question is should I waste my time on learning Xamarin, or begin with MAUI even tho it might be buggy until release date
