If you're risk aware of updates, you might want to try something like nixos where you can always rollback the entire state of the OS at boot time. So upgrades are basically creating a new snapshot with the upgrades, then reboot to check if everything is working. If everything is working, delete old snapshot. If things are not working, reboot to previous state. Makes the risks very small for even the most destructive upgrades.
