A quick update was released for Windows Server 2019. After reboot, activation issue not fixed.

Anything of not of this late build -- activation issues aside? For example: how is general desktop and application performance compared to Server 2016 similarly configured as a workstation?

Pretty similar, more or less. I have not been testing it too much. They seem very much the same, for now. It seems an updated WS 2016.
For now, it has been pulled alongside Windows 10 October 2018 update, due to bugs. The first Tuesday patch came and the activation issue has not been fixed yet. Probably we will need to re-download it, when it goes live again, and install it from scratch.

One new discovery.
Apparently, Flash Player is disabled, altough it appears to be installed out of the box. It does not work. Probably enabling RDSH shall unlock it, as on WS 2016 enabling RDSH installed Flash, but that does not seem a good idea.
I have asked about it on Technet Forums.

Can you uninstall Flash? Considering so many stories like this one and I'd just rather not even have it installed at all...

Flash is installed by default, but it is blocked. Perhaps installing RDSH shall un-lock it.
Posted on TechNet forums about it.

No, we can not enable it without RDSH, it seems, RDSH is probably the only reason Flash is still present in WS 2019. If it is blocked by default, as it seems, if you want to get rid of it, it is fairly simple. Just let it be as it is and do not install RDSH.

Flash Player update came from Microsoft, but it is still blocked.

A new iso is available on the Evaluation Centre. Just installed it. The activation issue seems fixed.
