Fedora is 'unstable' in the sense of changing versions and adding new features on top of the latest release. CentOS/RHEL stays on fixed versions for a long time period giving you that kind of stability without change that enterprises want.
I think the work unstable gets misinterpreted at lot in this context as you pointed out. It does not mean crashing.
That would mean that if your program actually works on such on out of date system, that you would be loath to make any improvements to your program over fear of it breaking and RHEL is very, very slow (seven years or more) to fix anything.
Fedora is a Kaisen operating system and RHEL is an anti-Kaisen operating system. You pick which works for you. If you plan to make improvements to your program, then Fedora is the way to go as Fedora actually fixes things.
RHEL would be great for a set and forget appliance. But you can do that with any OS by disabling the updates.
