This is a fixed launch issue, not a recommendation to revert.
The official notes also list audio, visual, HairWorks, telemetry-setting, and GOG achievement-list fixes. This page does not present them as fixes for unrelated save or mod problems.

Platform scope follows the 5.00b notes.
5.00c is scoped to Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store, Battle.net, and Xbox Play Anywhere PC. It is relevant if a PC save or load failed with a special-character Documents path, or if Classic 1.32 would not launch.
The hotfix does not establish individual legacy-mod compatibility, modded-save behavior, or every save-loading cause.
