I don't want to deal with somebody's computer suddenly being borked halfway across the world with no way to assist.

Fedora Silverblue could be interesting alternative to regular Fedora then, since you can boot into or roll back to a previous release. You can also pin a known-good OSTree commit, so that one could always boot that version.
