That's actually what I'm doing now. This works (as you say) quite well
for stepping into source code. 

Unfortunately, what this doesn't allow is for me to pull up the
source-code to a particular data layer class, set a breakpoint, hit F5,
and eventually stop at the break point. 

There are enough layers of business entities in between the data layer
and the entry point that actually trying to single-step into the code
just isn't at all practical. Breakpoints are a must...

The other thing that I tried was attaching 2 debuggers to the process
that I'm running. One of the debuggers would have the "unstable, often
changing" projects, and the other debugger would have the "stable"
projects. Unfortunately, I can only attach a single debugger to a
process.
