Are there any concerns/risks to using Watchtower? (alien.top)

Someone recommended it for keeping my containers up to date automatically. I checked out the repo and it seems too good to be true. It just updates your containers when a new image is available and everything just works out of the box? I'm a bit scared of just leaving it alone in case it might break something. The fact that it doesn't come with a gui also scares me a bit.

Does anyone here use it and can recommend it? Any horror stories?

I got my proxmox in production and I've installed before whatschtower and just broke me down 4 containers with bad updates so I stoped from using whatschtower...

I would like any services that just notify me about any new docker image update whitout making any updating
