you will only have to recomplilethe kernel itself if there are some modification you have to do on it (perhaps for some special hardware).
For software close to the kernel, there is a high chance that you remove the version you get from the repros and recompile it again the new kernel.
My recommendation is to use a kernel version ahead from the normal repros only on if you want to make some tests or get new experience or if you badly need some of the new features. In this case you should take one new version and freeze it. The versions in this repro change quick and for every new sub-version you may have to do the same work again.
Happy New Year Peter
Thank you for your response. I do not have a pressing need for a new kernel. I did read from this list about some people solving problems by installing a kernel from the stable repo. It s good to know how to install it if the need arises and the consequences of doing so. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year.
