Quite a few comments pro and con for Debian Sid. My two cents worth: Sid aka Unstable for a reason. Some have said they have had unstable systems.
The resolution to to this is that one should subscribe to IRC or some of the Debian mailing lists. There the developers publish the fact that major changes are hitting Unstable.
If one stays away from Sid during those times, and perform an update once things have settled, a 'more stable' Unstable is realized.
I don't use Unstable, but I do run Testing (currently AKA BookWorm), and I act in a similar manner. There are breaking changes sometimes. I perform no updates at those times. In addition, I have to check packages.debian.org sometimes as specific packages might be broken, and it will indicate what/when change may occur.
