My understanding is that unless you're explicitly configuring yourself with Testing repos, you're getting already tested software in your updates and should be fairly stable even with a rolling release.
For my gaming PC (Fedora) I'm pretty much updating whenever there's updates. Non-gaming Laptop? Debian stable, i don't need or want bleeding edge.
