As An Arch User, I find this incredibly True.
It blocks your updates when there's Arch newsfeed updates that you haven't read, prints it to terminal and then you just need to mark the latest news as read for your updates to go through. It's rare enough that it's not a bother, while this news can contain crucial information about what needs manual intervention and how. https://github.com/bradford-smith94/informant

Considering Arch for future use but have one concern
You can install Informant
-
Getting 'error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature))' during update
Not sure about any EndeavourOS specific solution, but informant as a pacman hook gets you all the unread Arch news items before upgrading.
-
Does anyone have experience/thoughts on going from Debian to Arch for my daily driver?
Before an update, I check if something has been released at https://archlinux.org/news/ that affects my own installation. If so, this has to be taken into account. For automatic checking there are tools like informant (https://github.com/bradford-smith94/informant).
-
Is Arch a good distro if you don't want to do due diligence on updates?
informant is very useful to me. It shows you any news articles from the site that you haven't read, before updating. This is how I make sure I don't miss any news updates.
-
Is there anything like Gentoos "news" function in portage, that notifies you directly of any manual changes that you might need to make to your system in an update?
Informant (from the AUR) gives you a few commands to check the arch news and includes a pacman hook that blocks transactions if there are unread news.
-
Arch & Manjaro. Is it a bad idea to have a systemd timer automatically update the system every day when I will be away for like a week?
Don't automate updates, bad idea. Use a hook like https://github.com/bradford-smith94/informant You will be fine not updating for a month.
-
If I don't update my system for a while do I need to just update the keyring?
I highly recommend Informant. It's basically a hook into pacman that checks Arch news before installing anything, and if there is a new message you are forced to read it before you can proceed.
