Unfortunately, it still appears to be a roll of the dice. Fortunately, if your get through the first flash OK, you can then experiment with the ROM recipe and flash as many times as you like till you get something to your liking. I think the bugginess is related to the recipe, not the OS files. I got lucky the first time (about 4 mos ago) with Helmi's WM6 kitchen (12/07) and I like my WM6 ROM alot. Have never had to do a hard reset. Some soft along the way but I think that is pretty normal. I'm not really heavy into modding the phone and I am just happy with the native html email and I got Voice Command, which I was just about ready to buy. I don't do any texting so I'm not inclined to go to 6.1. And you hear so much of Bluetooth and WIFI problems. From what I understand, if you want 6.1 you should use LennySH kitchen stickied to the Upgrade subforum. It's based on a released version whereas Helmi's was based on a pre-release version. Some ppl have good luck with it, some don't and end up reverting back to 5. You actually can do everything in 5 that 6/6.1 offers natively with the proper software. Just my opinion.
