So, rolling release means Arch is ever changing, thus its unstable? You forget that other distros still change - with bigger, less regular updates which are often more disruptive and just as dangerous.
There is truth in saying bleeding edge causes problems but that’s down to the user, not Arch. Arch assumes that the user knows how to prevent a cluster fuck.
And, there are ways to mitigate such a cluster fuck. Arch LTS, update less frequently, avoid AUR etc.
@jobbies@pmk arch means you cannot omit any update. If you do notsync pacman, you will not be able install any package (because they removing old versions from servers very quickly). If you sync pzcman and not update entire system, it will possiboy break on any package installation

In the end tho its just easier to neg on Arch.
