Keeping a Pro or a Home install up to date is not always a good thing. From a security standpoint, yes, I do agree, but when half your personal files go missing after an update… you kinda start wondering why you let this thing update automatically in the first place.
LTSC editions though, yes. I leave them to autoupdate. They do it like once a month anyway, so it’s not that big of a deal anyway, it’s not really such a big problem. And the updates don’t take that long, no new features are added, just security updates and that’s it.
So, if you’re worried about security and being up to date, I’d recommend the Windows LTSC editions. That is the only thing I ever install if I have to install Windows.
