if i'm not mistaken, you can only update LFS by compiling and installing the latest software source.

Nay, you can use which ever package system you want.

aye, i see :)

though

however, since these tools are designed for installing and
maintaining Debian GNU/Linux, they were never meant to be installed
"from scratch"

If you thought keeping slackware up to date was a pain, you won't like LFS. It's a ton of work. It's something cool to do as a learning experience, but to use it as your main system afterwards is probably not what you're after. Definitely try it sometime, but on a spare partition.

What hardware issues?

And have you tried sidux? Not as stable as Ubuntu, because the packages are more cutting edge, but if you want the newest packages in an easy to manage distro, it's worth a shot.
