Reporting from Debian Sid, everything is quite stable. I do run ZFS on root and make snapshots prior to big upgrades as a pre-caution, but so far I did not have a reason to revert anything. I was using Archlinux for a long time, and I can say that Sid feels more stable than Archlinux, although software is less fresh. But overall quite usable as a daily driver on my Lenovo X1 Extreme
