KDE 3.3 has many bug fixes. I was hesitant as well to upgrade, but found 
it well worth it. It's a bit quicker and it has yet to crash. (Been 
using it both on my 64 bit and my 32 bit installations.

Debian has already moved it into etch, so that means they think it is 
relatively safe to use.

You might want to take a look at the kubuntu wiki. There's a mention of 
how to turn konqueror back into the kde version instead of the kubuntu. 
I find the standard version (mainly the toolbars) much better. I 
couldn't figure out how to create the buttons on the kubuntu version to 
change the view mode, and didn't know they existed until I saw it on a 
friends' machine.
