As a 9-month user, I'd confidently say MAYBE.  It depends on how well
RELEASE works for you, and how you trade off the benefits of new
features against the risk of problems, no?

The words that you replied to seem to be CYA verbiage which reflects the
fact that STABLE has not always been well tested as a released "product"
(sometimes hardly at all) and might occasionally not work well, or not
at all.

But, as you've probably noticed by now, a common (for good reason) reply
to reports of problems is "use the latest STABLE" (sometimes followed by
"before reporting problems").

Be glad that you at least have a choice.
