Feel free to use stable, plenty of libraries target stable.

At the beginning I was using stable without many problems.

I switched to nightly to access the last language features and I have no reason not to use it (I've never encountered a nightly bug in 4 years)

Haskell is my favourite language (if we forget prelude, exceptions, strings and a few other warts) but Rust wins hands down on pragmatism and getting things done. The tooling (cargo vs stack) is way better and there are more production ready libraries to do cool things.
