Below is simply one opinion.

I run -current on all of my hardware, & -current is quite stable. However, issues can present themselves on occasion, & users of -current are expected to know how to deal with them. One important way of dealing with relying on development software is to do frequent back-ups. Another is redundancy.

Nevertheless, where you might draw the line on "stability" & "desktop purpose" may be different from others. Running -current is not for everyone, & Section 5.1 of the FAQ draws additional distinctions. You are advised to study this section before making a decision.
