Are they also coordinating with chain analysis for this release?

Nope, silent payments are a convenient tool for circumventing blockchain analysis! BIP32 address generation requires the receiver to interact with the sender, but BIP352 silent payment addresses only requires the sender to interact with the receiver.

Nice to see Silent Payments support! As far as I know that's a really good privacy solution that requires blockchain scanning on the receiver side, which is ok in some cases. Are there any known issues/problems with Silent Payments?

Wasabi Wallet v2.4.0 has been released four hours ago. I don't think there is any tutorial yet. I'm sure a few people are already trying it out and someone will publish a little something soon. :-)
From the release notes, basically, you send to Silent Payment addresses, which are privately reusable static addresses. While sending Bitcoin to them is as easy as sending to regular addresses, it is not possible for an observer to link several payments to the same Silent Payments address.
They are useful to send an address to multiple persons at the same time (tips, donations...) or to make multiple payments between the same entities (salary, rent...).

Sending is currently supported, receiving is currently in progress: https://github.com/WalletWasabi/WalletWasabi/pull/13565
