That's the wrong question; the right question is "are the risks worth it *to you*?" Automatic upgrades work fine for me, but then I'm willing to accept the risk that something might get hosed. It's never happened, but it could. Backups, hashes/signatures, and a good disaster recovery plan are your friends. :)
I use automatic updates, then use `apt-get -d upgrade` so it at least downloads the packages for me, and I can install them fairly quickly when I next get the chance.
