If small improvements have a big impact on active add-on users, I think it's okay. For example, I have all my notifications turned on and I follow the current development. I want to see these developments. I think there's no problem with that. I think reacting blogs is a good enough reason to update. The rest are bug fixes.

And this is what happens when I don't pay attention to the differences between altering and creating tables in the setup file
I'll have this fixed later today on an updated beta 4 version (won't create a new beta just for this), until then though in the src/addons/TaylorJ/Blogs/Setup.php file you can change line to the below
PHP:
$this->alterTable('xf_taylorj_blogs_blog_post', function (\XF\Db\Schema\Alter $table)Taylor J

Yesterday was a one off when it came to updates per day, sorry for the excess alerts/emails. I decided to go ahead and release a version with reactions since I had scuffed up the earlier release by including some of its logic when it didn't need to be there and decided just not to wait.
There will be an update today to address the setup.php error but that will be about it and other releases will wait until a big feature has been completed or multiple smaller ones. Haven't fully fleshed out my release schedule/cycle as of yet.

Also @Old Nick / and anyone else that wants the hot fix for this
In src/addons/TaylorJ/Blogs/Setup.php replace both lines 48 and 72 with the below
PHP:
$table->addColumn('blog_post_state', 'enum')->values(['visible','schdeduled'])->setDefault('visible')This will be included on the next beta but I've had more difficulty getting alerts to send out to everyone that's watched a blog than I expected.

Works fine now... if you add a 
Phrase:
A little thing: in general and by convention the permissions of third-party add-ons appear at the end of the list on the permissions page, there they appear at the top of the list.

Header image is distorted
Style variation is not applied here
And it would also be more conventional if the answer values of Created by (Author maybe?), Created on (Creation date maybe?) and Total posts were displayed aligned to the right, like resource infos. (It's a very small detail but the titles mentioned above should be dimmed in color).
Perhaps you should also use a name specific to blogs for the "Posts", in general we speak of "Blog entry" or perhaps even "Blog article", it would be less confusing with the "Posts" which correspond more to thread replies. This is manageable by everyone with the phrases but I specify it for all purposes.

If you try to edit a blog, the new values are not applied to the blog, it creates a new blog with the new values.
Here, i just changed the header image...

Phrases are hard-coded in your template.
Some are already exist in XF so you can use it (but you must create the phrase for Entries/Posts), i just edit the relevant part from the
taylorj_blogs_blog_view template:
HTML:
<div class="taylorJUserBlogs-details-text">
<dl class="pairs pairs--justified">
<dt>{{ phrase('author') }}</dt>
<dd>{$blog.User.username}</dd>
</dl>
<dl class="pairs pairs--justified">
<dt>{{ phrase('created') }}</dt>
<dd><xf:date time="$blog.blog_creation_date" /></dd>
</dl>
<dl class="pairs pairs--justified">
<dt>Entries</dt>
<dd>{$blogPost.Blog.blog_post_count|number}</dd>
</dl>
</div>And edit the less code with XF syntax for padding
Less:
.taylorJUserBlogs-details-text {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
flex-wrap: wrap;
padding: @xf-paddingMedium @xf-paddingLarge;
gap: 5px;
}

If it helps, I edited the 2 Less files of the add-on using the predefined XF variables for background, border-color, radius, text color, padding, etc. so it will automatically adapt to user customizations if applicable and most importantly this will be ready for XF 2.3 and style variations. I am attaching the files to you.
Results:
XF 2.3
If a blog does not have a header image it displayed well in Index blog page but bad in the blog page:

Miss this one,

For this one, would you mind grabbing a screenshot of your database, specifically the entirety of the xf_taylorj_blogs_blog_post table and posting it here. I was not able to reproduce this one on a fresh 2.3.2 install.
