It just works.

You could always add unstable and even experimental(only for the brave ones) for certain packages.
Next just use apt-pinning to stay with Buster/testing:

IMO, their isn't that much difference in quality, main difference is compatibility, not all unstable/experimental packages can be installed on the same system without running in dependency issues or conflicting configs... (in contrast, testing is meant to be the new stable and only accepts packages once they work with everything, unstable is a much bigger pool where everything gets uploaded, except the ones with known issues ... those are in experimental).
