I think it would be exhausting. Even if nothing broke, upstream UI changes could change your program daily. It makes a lot more sense for pulling changes that are security or bug fixes.
It seems like it would make sense for pulling enhanced functionality with no UI changes, but would you even use the enhanced functionality if you didn't even know it was there?
OTOH, I suppose if you organized your workstream correctly, you would always have previous binaries to fall back on.
