Honestly, the nightly compiler is _really_ stable for the "nightly" moniker it receives. It's basically just the rolling release of the current Rust codebase each night. I've run into issues before where I get an internal compiler error, but those have been rare and rolling back a version (or waiting to roll forward) resolves them.

For the most part, there's very little risk running Rust nightly and in fact, that's my MO. I like being able to receive the latest benefits and opt into compiler gates and whatnot. I couldn't do that on Rust stable.

Overall, I feel very little friction sticking with nightly rust and using libraries that are still nightly-only.
