I trust so much its stability that on the Debian servers I maintain I turn on unattended upgraded with automatic reboot. The maintainers never seem to push anything not security related, most of the changes being backports of fixes from upstream. Obliviously the price of stability is that the system runs slightly old software versions, but together with containers this is not a problem anymore. Stable OS running cutting edge containers is a combo that works well for me.
