Pretty much guaranteed you’ll spend an order of magnitude more time (or more) doing than than just auto-updating and fixing things on the rare occasion that they break.

Don’t auto update. Read the release notes before you update things. Sometimes you have to do some things manually to keep from breaking things.

For people living with others it might not be a choice though. The lights not working for a day the way they normally do is all it takes for someone to lose all faith in automation. It’s easier when you plan for a specific time and day to update things.

Politically correct of course.
But from my own experience using Watchtower for over 7 years is that I can count on one hand when it actually broke something. Most of the time it was database related.
But you can put apps on the watchtower ignore list (looking a you Immich!), which clear that out fairly quick.

And if you roll all your dockers on ZFS as datasets + sanoid you can just rollback to the last snapshot, if that ever does happen.

Autoupdate is fine for personal stuff. Just set a specific date so that you know if something breaks. Rollbacks are easy and very rarely needed.
