Was it really intended to be on the unstable and often enough broken
side of Fedora development?

So you left the scope of this list.

https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

That is the list where development is discussed. You there find
information when again rawhide has "issues" like yum failing to update
or other brokenness.

That depends on why you run the development tree.

The first one is certainly to follow the fedora-devel-list. Don't run
rawhide / development as a platform you have to rely on. That is because
often enough rawhide applications fail to be really usable. Things
though may then be fixed in the build next day or take longer. Actually
the X11 modularisation is going on and that causes major issues.
