I guess YMMV. I use Nvidia with proprietary drivers, and I have only one minor problem (the windows of some open programs get corrupted on resume). I also have Intel on my laptop and have no problems at all (I had an issue in the past, but I've solved it by updating the drivers). Nouveau is definitely a "dumpster fire", if one wants to put it that way, but that's pretty much openly caused by Nvidia. To be clear, I don't use pretty much any 3D though, so I can only speak for "typical office usage".

It was fine when only 3d games could cause crashes, but now that firefox and KDE's window-manager all use hardware-acceleration it's just terrible. The binary drivers are definitely better than nouveau though for stability, except maybe for some older hardware. Most issues fix themselves when I switch to a text console then back to X11, but every now and then I have to restart X11 to fix things.
