I've actually found Rust to be extremely stable since I started using it 5-ish years ago. I haven't had as much time to keep up with new features recently, but all my old code still builds as easily as it always did and the way I used to write code still works fine. I don't imagine I'm missing anything huge and transformative, and I tend to find new-to-me features on an as-needed basis through docs and web search. It is kind of annoying when big libraries that are generally touted as the way to do X require nightly, but again that's my experience as of years ago. Nightly should be understood as a place where churn happens. For me, stable releases have never been anything but what it says on the tin.
