Maybe try the DKMS version of your video drivers? It automatically rebuilds every time you install a new kernel. For Nvidia the package is
nvidia-dkms. I don't use AMD (yet) but I guess the package name would be something similar.But yes, it is a good idea to babysit your installation and pay attention to errors/warnings during the update. It is also a good idea to periodically check Arch news for breaking changes.
