When tracking sid, the biggest problems you're likely to encounter

that's more than enough. The latter is, IMO, by far the worse of the
two possibilities.
Luckily, in all my lifetime of using Linux, I personally have never
encountered a problem with Linux, be it any version of Debian,
Slackware, Mageia (the distros that I use constantly), or any other
distributions that I briefly test out, which required full
reinstallation. I hate reinstalling OS because of some problem, that's
Windows way of doing things. I believe that short of rm -rf / everything
that's done can be undone.
