How ready should your product be before launching on PH?

My team is working on a new product, and we're launching next week on PH (at the beta launch level), so we can get real user opinions before it's market ready. Would you say this is a good strategy? What are the essential pre-launch checklists other than getting the Product Hunt page content ready? Last week we did a quick launch with our other product, so we know how the platform works... but I'm still super nervous about the launch. Any insight from experienced self-hunters would be super appreciated!
