I get where you are coming from, but for me updating hasn't given me any issues since about a year or so. Especially if you stick with the .2 or higher releases. Those are really stable.
Yeah I have the same approach - I don't update the second a new release comes out, and check the comments to see what the earlybirds have encountered just in case it's a bad release.
Personally I haven't had any issues for a while now, prior to that it was the Python upgrade and all the Z-Wave changes that caught me out. That's all stable now though so updates don't stress me out much.
