Arch based distros are pretty stable in my experience. I actually had much more problems on distros like Debian and PopOs than Arch.
Yeah, I hate it when I update Debian and it fails to boot. Oh wait...
Problems I had were because of software not being on the latest version, not updates. Things just work on Arch for me. Only thing that ever broke was Xorg because of Nvidia drivers but that's pretty easy fix.
You've been lucky. I've been daily driving EndeavourOS for a few months now and I really love it but it did spontaneously break spectacularly twice already due to updates.

I really need to get someone to make a jingle for this: just use flatpak/appimage/distrobox/nix...

And how long have you been using that install? I ran arch and derivatives for 2+ years on multiple devices and can't count how many times they failed to boot due to an update.
MX + nix unstable give me the same bleeding edge packages without risking my system exploding randomly, while also giving me a bunch of other benefits.
My current install is around 1 year old.
