I have been using it for around 7 months, so far it’s been great and no major hiccups.

TLDR if you are skilled on Linux use archlinux vanilla instead of their opinionated version.
- Super unstable if you use as a workstation.
- Purely gaming oriented.
- Constant untested things pushed into their cachyos-settings
repo
- Bugs with their kernels they don't care for.
- Dismissal as it is not 'meant for workstations'

I had the totally opposite experience. Maybe it depends on the used hardware, the quality of the firmware, and how good the driver implementation on top of these is?
What is gaming oriented? What is untested? Which bugs? What do you mean by workstation?
Whatever. During initial setup slightly more than a year ago I went with their defaults, which means BTRFS as filesystem on a single SSD, and Plasma as DE. Apart from some (much later) customization of the initial ramdisk I didn't do much else. Their ZRAM setup suits me, everything flies, nothing crashes, lags, stutters.
Everything (of which I use) works.
I am skilled in Linux. By using plain vanilla Arch I'd have to recompile all of Arch to get the optimizations CachyOS is coming with by default. IMO that would be a useless hassle. Because they work flawlessly on my systems. I don't game btw.
