There's a spectrum of safe/confident/bug-free computing, starting with "keep your pc powered off permanently" on one hand and "run the latest fast ring insiders and never keep backups" on the other. If you want to keep with the "wait and see" mindset from the SP1 days, generally what you can do is wait for the next twice-a-year update before updating to the previous one. So for you since 1809 just came up, now would be the time to upgrade to 1803. Then when 1903 comes out, it'd be time to move to 1809, etc.

How do you enforce this? Do you use the business update branch with a # of days delayed for feature updates?

MS said 1809 stable went out to those who manually clicked check for updates. Why is there a difference between those that manually update and PCs that automatically checked for updates around the same time? To my knowledge, you can't change the automatic update process itself. The only configurable is when your PC restarts.
