Well, given how frequently kernel upgrades break stuff, if what you're saying about LTS reliability is true, I suppose the only reasonable solution for regular users is to never update their kernel. Or use a distro which holds kernel releases back for months to do their own validation, like Ubuntu and Debian.

I have different experience. I'm on the same Arch install (migrated across 3 different computers) for 15 years, going through almost every minor version kernel update during that time, and I never saw breakage of my system caused by the kernel update. Maybe I'm just lucky picking HW. :)
