You need to keep the update log and go through the whole thing and see if something needs reconfiguring. Sounds shitty? Yeah, that's why I stopped using Arch and Gentoo despite being a veteran

Nowadays I just install Debian or some derivative and call it a damn day. Unless you need some exotic setup (and those are more suited to Gentoo or Slackware anyway)

Oh I had a far simpler method: update and it fails to boot? Rollback and try updating again in a week. It usually works then, but I had to wait a bit more a couple of times.

The only exception was that bad GRUB release. I think that's the only update fail that absolutely required arch-chroot.
