I use ubuntu LTS to ease software build with android, yocto, some vendor's SDK,etc as they're all tested on ubuntu LTS, so do many other projects from github etc.

Every few years I do a full re-installation (instead of dist-upgrade as I have quite some local installations that made things complex).

How Arch cope with that? I like the live-update-never-need-full-reinstall side, meanwhile I don't want to spend time to fix those tested-on-ubuntu-lts-ready-to-go third party software package when Arch is used.
