This is why Backports exists. You can get any newer packages or kernels you need by enabling it.

And Ubuntu LTS doesn't go much farther ahead than base Debian.

    If you need to rely on back ports to have day to day function of HARDWARE. Then your OS is not suitable to your use case. Backport reliance should not be the norm for your avg user.

    At that point why not just run a rolling release? Debians whole selling point is stability which backports kinda ruins.

    I would argue that backporting one package does not ruin everything. If you backport a lot of stuff, then I would agree that it changing distrio to something more up-to-date should be considered because of the increase of potential problems.
