This is all personal experience, so obvious salt is required with it.

I've had bizarre networking bugs pop up on arch that I've not had elsewhere. I also just don't like rolling releases as much as I used to. Since the majority of what I do can be containerized, I prefer a much slower release cadence for my hosts, and anything that requires more up to date packages just gets thrown in a container.

Basically, I think my server workflow just doesn't line up with how arch works. On desktops it's great, since I'll always have up to date video drivers, desktop environments, etc, but on a server I don't usually use things that require the latest and greatest software. I figure as long as it's still getting bug fixes, I'm probably fine.
