>Is Fedora 32 more stable than 33 or vice versa, as on November, 2020?

While a release is not EOL it tends to stay fairly well synchronized to the latest release. For example, 33 and 32 are running the same basic kernel.

>If a user were to take present state of Rawhide, but not update risky packages, would there be any benefit to that ?   Meaning to manually update, skipping some packages.

If your care-about is reliability I would leave Rawhide alone. Selective updating often causes issues as old packages can end up blocking updates that you want eventually.

>Are some Desktop Environments in Fedora more stable ?

That's an emotive question to be sure. I find Xfce the most solid, especially on Rawhide where GNOME 3rd party extensions regularly break during development releases of GNOME (which Rawhide gets).

>What are some packages that are the most risky to update ?   systemd ?  mesa ?  kernel ?

I find release versions tend to be pretty good overall. Your mileage may vary. I would update everything always. Unless you want to fiddle and file bug reports I would stay clear of Rawhide, I'm having plenty of issues with it at the moment.
