Having it break before a (non-work) presentation, or even just game night and later dance party with friends was definitely not fun, so I started running a stable install in paralel (shared /home, which brought its own set of complexity). Eventually I realised it requires too much time to maintain, in a period when I had very little spare, so I settled with stable only. Lately I've been using testing or unstable only due to lack of hardware support and to monitor the progress of such for very specific devices. With the amount of 0-day vulnerabilities found on regular basis I would be extremely wary of running sid for any public facing services.
