What is your opinion? Are there any guidelines or recommendations by

This is basically a local risk decision: do you want the risk of not
being up to date on security patches, or the risk of things installing
without personally testing them first or overseeing the process?
Reasonable people have different answers to these questions. I would
personally activate unattended-upgrades unless you have some other way
to ensure that security updates are being installed in a timely fashion
I would concur with what Michael said and suppose that probably the
reason why the Debian Installer team has not made unattended-upgrades
the default in standard (no-cloud) images is that these images are
common for desktop and server installation, Gnome being the default
desktop, and Gnome having its own automatic upgrades mechanism.
Has Debian provided separate images for desktop and server, I suppose
(It's just that, my supposition) the former would not have
unattended-upgrades as default while the latter would probably have
unattended-upgrades as the default.
