I'm a little surprised. I've been running Arch since 2011 and it's been rock stable for me. I've run Fedora on secondary machines, but I never stuck with it because things would break during updates.
I suspect hardware has a lot to do with it. My Arch laptop is a ThinkPad with Intel graphics, and my secondary machines have been whatever is around.
The other variable is the desktop environment. On my primary laptop I used to run LXDE, and then switched to i3, and now sway. I ran ALSA instead of Pulse, but now I'm dipping my toes into PipeWire. When trying out Fedora I would always try Xfce which seemed like a good compromise since Gnome is definitely not for me. Xfce may not be much of a target for Fedora developers though, so it may not get the amount of attention that Gnome or KDE would get.
