> Sounds kinda cursed, but running something like Debian sid sucks because there's not many other people doing that.

I am not sure that is correct. I think it is very common for (experienced) people that run Debian to use Debian Testing or Debian Unstable on the desktop and Debian Stable on servers.

Personally, I run Debian Testing with selected packages from Unstable. I rarely have problems with that setup.
