I'm glad to hear it! Sorry my library is so extra.

I need to clean some of the columns and templates up, because some of them are ideas that I tried but didn't end up panning out.

Do I need to wait for a release (and when would that happen)?

You can wait for a release or run calibre from source. https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/develop.html

The release will likely be this friday.

I have a test library, it's a shambles - over 50 custom columns, various forgettable templates, over fifty icon files etc, etc. I mainly access it via an instance of a Windows Portable install, which has at least a dozen plugins installed that I don't ordinarily use.

I created it in 2012 and it has never crashed since, despite half a dozen major upgrades etc. I try to keep it tidy integrity-wise by running Check Library on it every week.

It should be possible to create the equivalent of the Windows Portable install on a Mac, there's a thread somewhere for Linux.

I once killed Calibre by having a virtual library and saved search reference each other, sending Calibre into a recursive loop. Thankfully I was able to fix it by modifying the db directly.

Just as well you didn't keep the storage device in a Klein bottle.
