Thanks for the report. Is the current wording really that discouraging?
It just warns user that proposed version didn't go through full testing
yet and might create issue, which is a fair statement. No objection to
change it if design comes with another text though...

Title:
  Don't scare users who want to use propose

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The GUI is intended for use by normal user and enabling proposed can
  make the system unstable. Despite this, some users want to use early
  release of packages and the current message discourage them of doing
  so.

  It should be reworded to explain clearly that this channel contains
  early release of packages and not discourage them of using it.
