I would like to use some of the packages in org-plus-contrib. So, I've
added orgmode's ELPA archive. But I find being on the bleeding edge a
little buggy.
As far as I can see, there is no "stable" ELPA package archive, so I
have to fall back installation from git. This seems somewhat backward to
me; installing stable with git, an unstable from package.el.
Is there any way of getting stable Org that I am missing?

FWIW, the versions in the org ELPA repository, though date-versioned,
appear to only be generated for tagged versions.

Really? That's rather confusing. So, it means that a bug here is a bug
in a release version?

Well, a bug's not a bug till it is seen :)
What is the buggy behavior that you find in the Elpa version?
Simply put, the Melpa version has the latest weekly cut from the maint
branch (minus the contrib packages), the org Elpa version is the same but
with contrib packages. So those are stable versions. If one finds a bug in
those, then they get fixed when reported.
New big features get added to the master (devel) branch.
That said, I have been using the master branch as my daily driver for over
a year. As of now I don't see any bug that affects my workflow.
