I don't really care about evangelising anything, but this bit:

Would be a problem anywhere there is a plugin system. Just don't go around updating kitchen sink without having the ability to rollback. Full on version controlling 3rd party plugins could be annoying (unless you use a plugin manager specifically with that support e.g. straight.el or elpaca in Emacs), but simply taking a dumb snapshot of plugin directory may also do the trick.
