YMMV
I run Manjaro with KDE on X11.... I use a lot of mouse gestures, so I can't sit with Wayland.
I found the SYSTEM is extremely stable for ME. It is important to say this every time...
I find KDE is often less stable... I had at least 2 issues I couldn't explain/understand and just fixed with restoring contents of .config from snapshots.
This is one area where Manjaro 'held back' and did actually save us from a lot of the bleeding edge (5.26 was a rough ride)... but that's not an 'Arch' issue, that's a 'KDE' issue.
But the USER likes to tip the boat until it does a barrel roll, or sinks entirely... and this is mostly what divides the happy users. Sometimes it's just basic hardware, sometimes it's the USER habits/modus operandi.
So we have Snapshots, and we have rsync backups to a mounted drive.... Then it matters not - a quick restart fixes most issues, and a reinstall takes only 6 minutes with no data lost -> in backups.
That's stable enough for me.
BTW, I use AUR quite a lot - and it never actually caused me an issue, other than some stuff needing rebuilds.
