I wouldn't call Arch bleeding edge. There are 2 stages before packages get updated in the repository for everyone (maybe besides trusted projects? which get immadiate update). I wait since almost 3 weeks until they update RetroArch. :D But that's just terminology and not really important.

I personally want the newest stuff and being updated all the time. Systemd isn't a problem for me, it's fine to me. The packages from Arch repository aren't buggy for me, so no complains there. You can always find reasons why to switch to another distribution, but that often is not the entire truth. There is often so much more to consider. My previous point is about the software I was looking into not packaged by the distribution of my choice. So many people say packages should come upstream, like in Flatpak and distributions should not package anymore. I hardly disagree here. But I digress... again...

I'm not here to switch my distribution, but think about switching to another Firefox base. I think Firefox is a great browser and want to keep using it, but have a few disagreements with Mozilla lately. That's why I was looking into an alternative fork. I will stay on EndeavourOS slash Archlinux... at the moment at least.

Edit: Dang it, I did it again. Why do I need to write entire blog posts as a forum reply?
