But I do have multiple computers, and some of them are running Debian testing or even stable, so I have something to fall back on if something breaks on my main machine that takes me more than 5 minutes to fix (which is extremely rare).

Oh ok, thank you for sharing. Debian wiki also states something similar: the sid would be better to use for work instead of testing. The wiki also warns that testing may have security problems due to slowness of the packages being available in testing repositories; that is the reason they recommend pinning. But from what I see pinning requires some trial and error to make those priority numbers (990 to 500) work, which I don't have the time to invest on for now.

I guess based on your encouragement and what I am reading. Completely switching to sid can be a good idea. I will also need to experiment with pbp-tools as I don't see any documentation on it. 

I was considering to set up apt pinning but it would be a better idea to switch sid perhaps. One thing I don't like is the frequency of updates with sid, but I guess I can live with it for a while, provided I get a reasonable stability.
