I have been running X on FreeBSD for about a quarter of a century and I can
assure you that:
You will never be able to use packages unless you are running RELEASEs. You
will need kernel sources on the build systems. Those sources MUST match the
running kernel. This is unlikely to ever change.

Things are much better than they have been in years. I have not had any
significant issues in about a decade. I did need to wait a short time for
support for Comet Lake to make it to a RELEASE and run 13-CURRENT for a few
months until 13 was released. My older system (Sandy Bridge) has been rock
solid for over a decade.

On any particular graphics device, it will fail in time. The primary X hardware
support developers are quick to drop support for older hardware as are
manufacturers. Nvidia and Intel support seems excellent.
