I agree about bleeding edge issues, but leading edge is OK. My view is that rc releases and betas or earlier are bleeding edge and latest stable is leading edge.
I don't really think updating microcode is dangerous if you have control. After all, there is really no difference between firmware (aka BIOS or UEFI) loading microcode and the kernel doing it via an initrd.
