I host and keep 6 blogs up to date like this for friends and together with things like mod_security I've never had a problem with spam or being hacked.
I realise this is just anecdotal and isolated, but an upgrade doesn't get much simpler than "svn up".

WPSuperCache is used on a staging server and the actual public-facing website serves up static pages that have been git pulled from the cache. The Apache process on the public-facing server only has read permissions to the public site files.
