Your feeling is well earned as your role as tester is quite a valious one.

Then both you and the community will get benefit from you using Sid when you
feel ready (where the environment allows for it, maybe a "for-fun" machine or
a chrooted/virtualized environment where you can upgrade and test without
fear for the results).
While the focus on Testing is for the user to provide good quality bug
reports, Sid goes beyond that: it benefit the most when you can take the time
to dive into the technical details of those bugs that itch you most, maybe
narrowing the conditions where the bug appears, maybe having a look at the
sources to find what's wrong (which will certainly make you embetter your
coding abilities at a faster pace) or even, in the best cases, providing a
thought out patch or resolution for the problem at hand.
