Does anyone know if BTC Core will work properly if installed on Tails USB with Persistent Storage enabled? I saw that the modern versions now allow you to upgrade the Tails OS on the fly while keeping all of your Persistent Storage encrypted volume intact which is great. I remember not using this OS because you needed to wipe the data to upgrade but now it works.
If you want to use BTC Core wallet for watch-only to send transactions, will this work properly? has anyone tried?

I don't know. But at very least you need to either,
1. Point Bitcoin Core to correct folder whenever after you restart Tails.
2. Configure Tails to manually keep configuration file created by Bitcoin Core using something called Dotfiles. See https://tails.net/doc/persistent_storage/configure/index.en.html#dotfiles.
