i've got 200+ packages installed from MELPA, and can't recall 
having had any upgrade failures.

(i've very occasionally had a package upgrade break some 
functionality, but my experience is that the package authors have 
rectified the problem quickly. For me, this cost is greatly 
outweighed by the benefits of getting access to bugfixes and new 
functionality within hours of package authors pushing such 
changes.)


Alexis.
