Just install an LTS kernel instead of the latest one. Unless your hardware was made literally yesterday you'll be alright, and the number and frequency of updates isn't far from, say, Ubuntu at all.
Also use archfi. It's a super easy and reliable way to get an Arch install going.
And once you install it you can backup your install with Timeshift so that if you break anything you can easily go back to before you broke it.

I've never actually had to restore myself, is it more difficult than I'd imagine?
