and on my one webserver which *doesn't* run the LTS (for advance testing purposes, mostly) I just got caught by an increase from Apache2.2 to 2.4 which breaks all the things*.

Let me put this out there so there isn’t confusion. The regular 6 month releases of Ubuntu are the stable releases. A LTS release is released every two years on the same cycle as regular Ubuntu releases. A LTS release is certainly more stable than regular releases, but not calling regular releases stable is a bit misleading.
For server purposes, I think we can stick to LTSes. Approximately nobody runs a non-LTS Ubuntu for their web hosting. (And even less now that non-LTSes are only getting a nine-month lifetime.)
