As someone from an SE that was announced as ready for graduation about 10 months ago and has not graduated yet, this is a very good idea and is very important to the sites that are ready to graduate, but can't yet because of the backlog.
The long term users of Music SE know that we are in the queue to graduate, but we've also gotten a lot of new members to our community since then and it's not obvious to them that we are going to graduate any time soon. Even some of the users who visit the site every day and are watching other sites graduate are getting antsy about when we actually will graduate even though it was announced including myself.
Just simply dropping the beta status and starting to give us features of other graduated sites goes a long way in this as it show we're graduating or on the path to graduation for everyone.
