Fedora is always in a stable condition at release.
I can't count the number of times moving to the next fedora release has broken stuff requiring me to fall back on the old version till things get fixed. Every fedora new release always comes with a "known bugs" web page that everyone complains doesn't include their bug :-).
There will always be bugs. Using an older version is not really a fix.
I use fedora, not for its great stability, but because our software needs to run on redhat and centos and fedora gives me an early warning of things that will be broken when they show up in the next centos release so I can already have work arounds or bug fixes in place by then.
That's a great idea. I do something similar, but I've always got everything close to the bleeding edge. My personal devices run rawhide or branched, everything else runs the latest release.
