When dealing with Arch vs. Ubuntu - it is more about "Mostly unmodified upstream software" vs. "Canonical customized software", as opposed to "stay on the bleeding edge" vs. "be stuck with a year old packages"
I am using same Arch install on my desktop for the last 7 or so years. So far, the only time it broke for me was during the whole pulseaudio -> pipewire jump. Half of that is probably due to my pulseaudio tweaks. There's always Manjaro (I use this on my laptop) or other semi rolling release distros too. You are still subscribed to the same repositories but your updates lag by a month or two and would be released to you only after they are happy with their tests.
