IMO it is, though with the caveat that it needs to be set up very carefully to begin with.
I never had breakage via updates with LMDE so once I had it set up right it always seemed to be fine. Though due to the release cycle big things can happen over the course of a "regular" update so one day my default desktop just changed to Gnome Shell which could be a bit unnerving for a casual user.
