The beauty of Tumbleweed is that you don't have to update straight away. I typically update weekly but on my play-puter I have gone 18 months between updates without a problem. The updates do tend to be quite large though so a slow Internet connection can take a long time to download them.
I find it to be a perfectly good desktop experience using KDE but I don't play games so can't comment on that. The only driver you typically need to install is the Nvidia one. Talking of that, Nividia drivers can cause the occasional problem when updating because they don't always keep up with the pace of kernel changes. At least you can rollback to a working state easily. On my Intel only machine tumbleweed has been utterly reliable and I haven't needed the rollback facility of snapper and btrfs. It's definitely nice to have though!
On Reddit, I used to see complaints about zypper being a slow package manager and to be fair, when updating it does feel slow. However, I've been using it long enough that I can't compare it to other package managers.

openSUSE Tumbleweed. It's not stable as in unchanging but it is stable as in reliable.
I like Tumbleweed because it's utterly boring and predictable while being rolling.
Fast, Good, Cheap. Pick two. Most people pick fast and cheap.
It's incredibly well put together
Everything just works
