I think you're expecting too much from -stable.  -stable is kind of a
misnomer; read the Handbook section 21.2.2.1 ("What Is FreeBSD-STABLE?")
for more.  Your conclusion above is addressed there (spoiler: don't use
-stable in production unless your test environment convinces you that it
will work).
