Not really, I have seen CentOS based infrastructure having more problems (xfs breaking docker, frankenkernel 3.10 in 2020?) whereas with Debian things just works and are not heavily patched to the point of breaking ABI.

In a vacuum, absolutely. I think GP's point was that if you already have to run the frankenkernel on some machines (because of support), then it makes management easier if you at least run the same broken frankenkernel on all of them.
I've seen issues with debian as well in production systems, from the packaging systems most notably. Both distros are mostly good with some flaws.
