I've started using Manjaro 4 years ago so basically I picked up where you left.

The situation seems to have reversed, nowadays there are plenty of "arch installers" like you said but Manjaro is actually a "stable Arch" alternative... provided you actually want that and don't do anything to rock the boat. Using flatpak instead of AUR when possible can help further.

I guess the key point there, using Manjaro as Manjaro, not as Arch. It can be stable that way since they also have their own repos. And I agree that using flatpaks instead of AUR on Manjaro would be better. Though at this point, if I am to switch distros, I would go for Void I guess. It's actually nice to hear that Manjaro seems more stable now.
