No, this is very much not recommended.

Yes, about every two years when a new major Debian stable release is
made. With "stable" in sources.list, you may find yourself upgrading to
the new release when you're not expecting it and are unprepared, similar
to the situation the OP has got himself into.
Using the codename avoids such surprises at the cost of having to alter
the sources.list file every two years (with a time window of one year
where more than one release is supported).
Cheers,
Sven
