If you are launching with a stable, relatively unmodified copy of links 1.11, then you won't have a problem upgrading.
The next version will most likely need to make some new tables, and add fields to the old tables (a problem if you are already adding tables and fields, you might duplicate them).
But, because of the dynamic nature of the database extractions, that shouldn't be a problem.
My caution/patience in waiting for the next release is due to my need to start doing some heavy modification. I _know_ those won't be portable, and I may really be locking myself into the next version of links as it stands (though I hope I can keep upgrading the modules, and leave my application alone).
I would say go ahead and deploy it, but don't start adding in too many things you'll have to hack into the new release code.
It's almost a sure thing that the code will be completely different, with the new category logic, and other features that have been added.
Your data won't be affected, since that has been taken into account for the 'upgrade' process.
