- whether Secure Boot was enabled on the computer used for the tests
MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports)
AKA: MacBookPro14,1 (no T2 chip)

- which application you used to install this experimental Tails image
balenaEtcher 1.5.79

- from which operating system you installed this experimental Tails image
macOS 10.15.3 (19D76) SIP enabled

So I tried using the latest release (4.3) and could install it to a drive with Etcher, but had the blank screen issue mentioned in bug #17049 when trying to boot from it. Then I got:

tails-amd64-feature_6560-secure-boot+force-all-tests-4.4-20200229T2121Z-53383fe730+stable@???

flashed it to my USB drive with Etcher, and was able to successfully boot to the "Welcome to Tails!" dialog, but the keyboard and trackpad didn't work. I was able to get the cursor working by plugging in a Magic Trackpad 2 with a USB-C to Lightning cable, but my attempt at getting an external keyboard working failed.
