I've likewise tried and failed to follow these instructions.

Assuming that it is supported, will it be possible to upgrade from BETA2 
to RCs and then the final RELEASE?

  I think so.

  Indeed, older releases were not upgradable from betas, but
recent releases were upgradable from beta releases.

  Although it said that we could not upgrade to 12.0-BETA1 in
the previous release note, we can upgrade to 12.0-BETA1 by
freebsd-update.
  And at this moment, we cannot upgrade to 12.0-BETA2 by
freebsd-update.
