Well, this is my third Lumia 950. Currently running build .107. After a week, I woke up this morning realizing I had overslept. My 950 screen was dark. When I unlocked it, I see the Start screen "Loading...". Icons missing. Cell bars showing, empty SIM showing, nothing else. Soft reset restarts and the same symptoms occur. I remember this in an early TP build. Anyone else have this problem? Sadly, another hard reset and long day ahead.

Oddly enough, I was able to get to Settings using Cortana. WiFi is screwed up and no 5GHz band is seen - a symptom I usually see after a little while after a restart. Now it happens at bootup. Cortana helped me look around but still, no Start screen.

It might just be the cost of being insider?

Yeah, that's certainly true! Hard reset fixed everything. I made an entry in feedback. There are actually thousands of upvotes so I guess I'm not the only one!
Oddly enough, before this happened I was experiencing the speaker tick or pulse bug. I soft restarted because of the bug and that's when Start failed to start. Hopefully these bugs will be worked out.
