my 'arch based' system is a cinnamon-flavoured manjaro. manjaro gets shit on for reasons, one of them being they hold back updated packages for a bit.. which is basically what you recommend, and it's what i usually do anyway--defer updates for awhile (even on windows), unless it's a super critical issue that could actually be a problem.
that manjaro desktop has been solid, never once messed-up an update even with the aur packages i have installed, and even if it's been a month or two since it last updated.
