Sometimes people tell me I should have gone with either Linux Mint or EndeavourOS, and otherwise don't really tell me why it's bad, just that it's bad. So far I only could find one thing, which is that their repo isn't 100% rolling for stability, and sometimes it does not guarantee stability.

There is nothing. They hold back updates and say it's more stable. The thing is, if you set up Arch with btrfs snapshots, which is literally included in archinstall, you already have a system that's basically unbreakable. (Although their setup is not perfect imo, but you can easily fix that as well.)
