Unfortunately the same can be said about Ruby, RoR, Python etc etc etc.
Personally I think it's perfectly reasonable to track Nextcloud upgrades combined with SCL major upgrades once every couple of years.

With PHP, I try to stay as close to upstream as possible. If upstream EOLs a version, it's time to upgrade.
If you want something stable, don't run PHP.
Unfortunately, with that philosophy but not much systems management experience, you end up with custom-compiled and local installs of PHP that get no security updates, particularly as you get version lock-in by the web application developers, or when you have a sysadmin move on to a new position or company.
I think the statement "If you want something stable, don't run PHP" is a very wise statement though.
