No, testing is probably about as stable as many other
distributions. Besides, you get "new" bugs only when you apt-get
dist-upgrade so you have some control over how closely you want to
track things.

Like I said, I tracked woody from June last year to release. I can't
say I had serious problems at any point (the most irritating thing I
remember was some sort of terminal capabilities problem for a few
weeks).

You can get KDE3 for both testing and stable from unofficial sources I
believe. Google for it, or perhaps others on this thread will tell
you.
