The next Ubuntu stable version will be available within less than 2 months. But I want to install the "daily build" of this next version today. If I just keep doing the basic apt update & apt upgrade, will I have the stable version when the next Ubuntu version is officially released? Or should I format and perform a clean install of the stable version once it's released? Will there be a practical difference between just keep updating and performing a clean install of the officially released stable version?

PS: at the momment, I'm considering to install Ubuntu 2020.04 LTS daily build and update it until the stable version is released.

Yes

If you are already runing the pre-release version of Ubuntu, your system's normal routine apt update and apt upgrade will automatically land you in the same 20.04 LTS as though you had installed afresh.

Warning: Running pre-release Ubuntu means that you are volunteering to test Ubuntu. You should have (or be willing to learn) the skills to troubleshoot, to report bugs, to participate in the appropriate dev venues to discuss the issues you discover, and to do it all in a timely manner so bugs can be fixed before release,
