be warned that testing has weaker security update guarantees than stable or even unstable. testing tends to receive these patched packages a few days or sometimes weeks later.

Yes, but unless you're open to network directly, it's not a big problem.

Never use testing for servers, though.

high risk network dependent software like web browses are also affected by this. it is not only a problem for servers.

Firefox and Thunderbird is regularly updated at unstable branch, following upstream. It generally trails a day or two at most. You can pin it in apt to get it when it’s released.
