This is exactly what an early access game should be. The developers have been extremely communicative with their work, and regularly release new features. Despite being in early access, the game feels complete. Yes, there are things that can be continued to be fleshed out - a handful of QoL features, more maps, maybe another tribe, etc. - but all of those are the "become more good" type of thing, rather than the "wait for them before it's playable" type. If something happened to cause the devs to stop work on this game right now, I'd naturally be disappointed, but I wouldn't feel at all like I didn't get my money's worth with this game, or that it was left in an unfinished state.

When new features are added, they're on beta branches, meaning that the game will continue to be stable for most players while allowing others to try out the new features right away. These new features then go through a few weeks of refinements based on player feedback before being added to the main branch. This really lets you tune your early access experience. Do you want the bleeding edge that might now be balanced or bug free? Do you want to play something that feels "finished" but is updated with new features every few months? Something in between? The choice is yours, and as such, you're bound to have a great time with the game.
