I moved from running Debian 'testing' to Devuan 'testing' except in Devuan
the request is to use the code name rather than its function so I've been
running Daedalus for since I think shortly after "chimaera" became 'stable'.
Found very very few issues in running testing in some likely over 10 years
of doing so. I've found more issues by running multiple monitors than for
any other reason.
