Yep that was my take as well.

Definetly give Lower Decks a chance. Strange New Worlds is really good too imo. Its worth noting that it is a spinoff of Discovery. Specifically season 2 I think.

Nah you can go ahead without watching Discovery. You might miss out on some references but the major plot points are explained.

I don't, but here are the full release notes and release video "Everything New in Alpha 21".
