Same experience.
Arch has been nearly maintenance free, and it's been the one distribution where when I did break something, I was able to fix it 100% without nuking and starting over.
I still can't bring myself to run it on servers for some reason, and I go back to Debian stable for those, but honestly, I'm not sure why. I'm starting to feel that a rolling release would make for a lower maintenance server because it's always a PITA when the inevitable end-of-life comes into play and the upgrade inevitably fails and I have to reconfigure everything anyways.
Ubuntu in contrast would ALWAYS find new and bizarre ways to break. ESPECIALLY when snap came into play.
