Does the 1~2 week delay improve Manjaro stability over Arch?

I run Manjaro on the computer I use 99.9% of the time. It's been rock stable but there have been a few issues, over the years. I've been forced to reinstall on four occasions, since 2017. I expect it would have been more but I stopped taking updates until a week or two after they are offered. Every issue could have been handled with timeshift but I only started running timeshift about 6 months ago.

I also have an Arch laptop that I use a few times per year. It's been very stable but it goes for weeks without being used. I have no way to know how many problems it would have had if I used it every day.

Any thoughts on which is more stable? Maybe it doesn't matter that much, with snappy and timeshift?
