Exactly this, I have hourly Borg backups and also since my install is entirely on a zfs array I have zfs autosnapshot every 5 mins with retention policy. Takes almost zero cpu or memory overhead extra and means and can do just about anything via command line and revert it back with ease.
That being said, I still don’t auto update. Unless having an issue, I just sit down every few months and update everything manually because if its already working why update. If you want the newest features, how will you even know what they are if you don’t at least glance at the release notes?
I definitely don’t need to but it also costs nothing and retention policy only keeps 5 minute backups for an hour. Then hourly back up for a day. Daily backups for a week, etc. Up to 2 years
