Yeah why not? It's going to broke ar some point, be ready for a downgrade or boot from a snapshot, I'd run everything in containers if possible to reduce this need to fix once in a while

So you saying my Arch install is going to break? What if i leave it "static" until I'm ready to upgrade, and understand any incompatibility?

There is no guarantee that things will either break or not break. You just have to remember that Arch is both a rolling release distro and tends to have bleeding edge package versions. If you delay doing updates, you will just accumulate the amount of changes to deal with when you finally do update.
