Setup Btrfs + Btrfs Assistant, rollback if any update breaks things you need.
It’s stable enough for me everyday use but this will depend on your use case + hardware setup. Even some people will swear by Manjaro for years without breaking. I found that usually if stuffs break in Arch, i can fix it but not so much if stuffs break by update from Ubuntu/Fedora.

This is based on the image, the best you can do it check the logs like other comments said, it’s better if the error is identified through the log.
You can still do the auto snapshot daily/weekly plus the manual snapshot whenever big update coming or try something.
