I think auto update is perfectly fine, just check out what kind of versioning the devs are using and pin the part of the version that will introduce breaking changes.
You can have the best of both worlds - scheduled auto updates on a time that usually works for you.
With growing complexity, there are so many components to update, it's too easy to miss some in my experience. I don't have everything automated yet (in fact, most updates aren't) but I definitely strive towards it.
There's a fine line between "auto-updates are bad" and "welp, the horribly outdated and security hole riddled CI tool or CMS is how they got in". I tend to lean toward using something like renovate to queue up the updates and then approve them all at once. I've been seriously considering building out a staging and prod env for my homelab. I'm just not sure how to test stuff in staging to the point that I'd feel comfortable auto promoting to prod.
