tumbleweed is like that though. there's a cost to immediately getting all the updates: you are supposed to be testing it and reporting problems you find. if you don't want that that's fair, me neither, that's why I don't run tumbleweed. I never understood the people saying they never have problems.
but please don't write this down as "the linux experience"
if leap is too slow for you, you could try fedora kde edition, so far it seems pretty stable. but maybe you could continue with tumbleweed after setting up automatic snapshots before update installation. if your rootfs is BTRFS it shouldn't be hard.
I don't think you need tumbleweed. do you run steam as a flatpak package? if so then its updates and for wine/proton they arrive quickly, I think you would be fine with leap.
where I use opensuse leap, I fear the major version updates, but I don't know why because I always read the release notes, and I don't think I had major issues yet.
where I use fedora kde, I just let it do it itself. these are not my primary systems (yet), so if something breaks then its not that much of a pain, but no problems so far. it already supports the update install method that installs all of them after a reboot, and that's what I use,
