It's not about running bleeding edge. Arch uses more recent packages and libraries which have had less time to stabilize than older packages. If you're willing to install App images, Snaps, PPAs, or just compile yourself you can run more recent packages on Debian Stable. The point is that your kernel and the software you don't care about is stable. Preferable to start from a stable OS and introduce instability where needed than to switch to a distro which is using the latest releases of all software packages. On Debian I usually use AppImages or Snaps for programs that I would prefer be up to date (FreeCAD/Cura Slicer). I switched from CentOS to Debian a few years back and Debian has given me ZERO issues. When I was young and dumb I ran distros like Gentoo and Ubuntu and I learned a lot from all the many times I had to fix problems caused by bad updates.
