I myself use version 8.1 for the JS project from the state of Beta , and my personal opinion is that the version can definitely be used.
The only nuance that has befallen me is that in Linux for direct work with npm from the project, sudo rights are necessary, but the IDE does not request them for the terminal itself.

PS I hope I understood all the functions correctly and translated. Please express your comments in drugs .
