I am getting great backups with no issues with the latest and prior Betas.

I would like to confirm that this Setting is optimum though: Settings/Output Options/Custom Target Size (23500 MB). My backup log file always shows: "Target BD Size 22.95B. My media is Vebatim BD-R 25GB. Are there any recommended tweaks to this setting?

Thank you!

23500 MB divided by 1024 = 22.95 GB

Adjust at your own risk, i.e. lower it and the backup becomes too undersized
raise it and the backup becomes too large to fit or ends up too close to the edge of the disk, the weak point for burns

Best to leave the target as is.

I set mine to 24200. This usually gives me an image size of approx 97% to 98% for a BD-R, based on what ImgBurn tells me. If ImgBurn reports >98% then I run it again at the default 23500 setting.

I've never encountered any edge problems. I use good media and I always do movie-only backups, so any such problems would show up at the end of the closing credits anyway.
