Bleeding edge arch linux user here, I've barely come across any major bugs in the last couple of years. Whenever I find something I do report it and it usually gets fixed really quickly.

In fact, many of these bugs were on stable releases too.

exactly. A RHEL kernel is likely a lot more stable than the kernel.org LTS kernel. Often bugfixes and security patches are backported to the LTS kernel, meaning both can be affected by similar bugs.
