RPi - There are breaking changes if I directly upgrade from jessie to stretch and a clean install is recommended
Arch - The only time I broke my installation was when I accidentally switched off the machine during an upgrade. It was easy to fix too. One more time, GTK broke the sliders. A bug report was submitted and was fixed within a week upstream.
I think Arch is fair enough, if one has time to maintain one's system in case it breaks.
This is from my experience.
I have a laptop with Arch and RPi with Raspbian.

That is a fair assessment. Arch requires commitment. That's why I didn't agree with the statement that Arch is for everybody.
