The latest BIOS 1220 for my ROG STRIX B760-A Gaming includes an Intel ME update as well. This is an improvement on the previous system of ME updates and BIOS updates being separate. It would be nice to see this continued with future BIOS releases.

You should install the driver first, and then the BIOS/ME update. Version 1220 is not a beta. I have not seen any issues with it but I find the B760 A Gaming overall is a stable and reliable platform. You are on a Z790 board so this may or may not entirely apply to you.

I have the Z790 DDR 5 version and I installed Windows 11 first, then Intel ME engine then Bios 1205, then updated to Bios 1220.
Had to go into bios and set ram to XMP I setting. No issues
