What are the updates that are available at the moment that pose no WSOD or other known risks?

There is always a risk when updating any operating system - ask any sysadmin about the risks of updating windows with patches.
The number of people that have experienced the WSOD is very small compared to the number of units in use - we get to read about them here just because they have it and very few people register and/or post that their units are working without problems. Remember that any forum will get a disproportionate number of people with problems which masks the real world conditions.
You say you updated to Ermine - obviously you didn't get the dreaded WSOD so what is your problem? Use the standard Ermine update from Entourage and don't do anything silly and you should have no trouble.
I updated my full size eDGe as soon as Ermine was available and have not had anything that I would call a problem. There are those with PEs that have likewise updated to Ermine without problems and post here trying to help others.
Just remember this forum is where people come for help and advice and people only ask for help when they have a problem.
