Despite nearly four months passing after Apple released the MacOS 10.13 High Sierra developer beta on June 5, Wacom apparently needs more time to sort out their tablet drivers for the new operating system. High Sierra was released today to the public, however Wacom is advising not to upgrade just yet to keep your tablets working. In a tweet sent out today by the company, Wacom pins late October as for when to expect the driver to be updated. In the meantime, it is suggested by Wacom to not update your system from MacOS 10.12 Sierra which is the latest version to be supported by their tablets. We will release a Driver update late October for 10.13 High Sierra.

The current driver is not compatible. More here — Wacom (@wacom) The tweet links to Wacom’s support page which gives the following statement: Driver for 10.13 High Sierra Apple has announced 10.13 High Sierra will be released September 25th. Wacom is currently working on a new driver update to support the new operating system. The new Wacom driver will be ready by late October at the latest. Due to nature of the changes in High Sierra, the existing Wacom driver for 10.12 will not work. To continue to use your tablet uninterrupted, Wacom suggests not to upgrade to 10.13 until the new driver is released.
Once released the update will appear in the Wacom Desktop Center and posted on the Wacom driver page found. Unfortunately for many photographers and retouchers, the dependency on to perform our jobs may mean having to hold off a little bit longer until we can safely upgrade. I am no Pro, but I use a Wacom Intous Pro S connected wirelessly. I used it during the Beta and now with the official release. There was only one minor issue with CaptureOne (update frequency in Brush Flow), which now seem to be solved. Apart from that, the tablet was not behaving worse than under 10.12.

Maybe the wireless connection is key? With 10.13 I encountered some USB connection issues, especially with X-Rite ColorMunki (I found a temporary workaround). To cut a long story short.
Your Wacom might very well work, but with 10.13 some major changes 'under the hood' come along. As a Pro you should consider that. Usually the best is to test with a 'non-critical' machine before installing a substantial upgrade like this one (e.g. Any 32-Bit apps you rely on?). But my experiences have been quite good. Nicely improved operating system.
I absolutely cannot do my job without my Wacom tablet. I'm still using my trusty Wacom Intuos 4. The legacy drivers have always worked great for me on all versions of OSX. Not sure if Wacom will ad support for the intuos 4 this time around or not. Personally, I think it sucks that Apple isn't currently supporting the Apple File System on their fusion drives Macs in OSX High Sierra. Seriously, do you know how many people have fusion drives in their Macs?! I have no choice but to wait to upgrade at this point.

The only time I use mine is to deep etch in Ps or make local adjustments in Lr. After the CTE-640 stopped working I bought the little Bamboo which was OK, but the one I got was too small and just didn't feel quite as nice as the bigger ones, so I sold it and got a used Intuos 4. I have programmed the buttons but because I use it so little, I often forget what I programmed them to do! Using it in conjunction with my Apple Magic Trackpad actually works quite nicely. I draw with the pen and scroll with the trackpad - a 2 handed affair. I just decided to give it a try.
Since it should be possible to change back to the previous version of mac OS via Time Machine. To be save, I made 2 separate Time Machine Backups on separate external HDs before. I just installed mac OS High Sierra on my MacBook Pro Retina with SSD (APFS now). So far, everything works fine, I could not find any issues so far. Wacom Intuos Pro M works fine, incl. The programmed function buttons, no problems at all so far.
I tried connected wirelessly and cable. Also Parallels Desktop 12 is doing fine so far (but there is also already a new version 13 available). Me too And I have an olde Wacom Bamboo (MTE 450) I dont even have a real Mac and my build still has no SSD (its pricey here in BR, but I installed here in a 2tb hybrid disk with 8GB SSD chip and a msata SSD (in a PCIE slot) to use as swap partition I installed a Sierra Hackintosh and updated to HS, and the OS told my Wacom as not compatible, but I downloaded the old driver again and its working with no issues And even here Parallels boots my bootcamp faster than Windows boots the same Windows partition eheheheh.
