I feel the same, however I force myself to keep doing that. Without docker.
Yes, every time a new debian release is out something I fiddled with will break and I have to remember how it works, but I see it as some sort of training. As a dev I don't want to be completely clueless about how things I use every day work, so while changes that break old configs and workflows are annoying I'm forced to learn what changed in the gnu/linux/debian world and maybe even find out why.
Also I get better at documenting things. Years ago I didn't even know what exactly to document since the moment you do something everything just naturally comes together, but after a couple times you kinda get a feeling for what the important bits will be two years down the line.
So about once a year I reserve a perfectly good weekend to upgrade, restructure or otherwise maintain my little home server running debian with things like mariadb, nginx, a filtering bridge for my lan, dnsmasq with a block list, borgbackup, syncthing, cups for printing and a couple other things I don't remember right now.
