I'd much prefer a compromise, like the FreeBSD quarterly updates vs daily, so you can pick the update frequency. I can't tell you the total number of wasted hours my previous organisation spent upon maintaining MacOS infrastructure after random breakage due to homebrew, but it was a regular occurrence and likely a few hundreds of hours per year for the small setup we looked after, mainly for CI.
