Please re-read my original reply. I said it *increases* the risk of a
flaky system. Kevin appears to agree.

Ditto. I didn't say that either.
But you did say "It can then be hard to back out to *not* using
updates-testing for every future update."
I don't understand the logic there. If you use updates-testing to get
the kde packages from updates-testing and then stop using
updates-testing, eventually the updates you got from updates-testing
make it to updates. From that point on you are back to the same state
you would have been by just using updates.
