I do not know if everyone would agree with me but maybe this could be a good middle ground (at least for now untill we find an even better alternative):
So the (possible) solution could be:
DirectAdmin always pushes new software updates for software that CustomBuilds manages.
If the update of that software is not (yet) tested by DirectAdmin it will tell you that in CustomBuilds extremely clearly.
If a DirectAdmin user want to update to untested software version that CustomBuilds manages then they will be notified about the fact that it might not be compatible with DirectAdmin and might break DirectAdmin/Control panel before allowing to update. (And by extention has no way to update to untested versions via automation to prevent a warning bypass.)
This would allow user to run untested versions of software that CustomBuilds manages but they also know that it is not tested by DirectAdmin and may result in a not functional DirectAdmin server/Control panel.
But I would also like to add that regardless of the outcome of this post, I am on DirectAdmins side as I think tested software versions by DirectAdmin are guaranteed to work without any issues and thus will result in even more stable DirectAdmin in the long run.
EDIT:
I am proposing this possible middle ground because to me it seems that there is a large gap between users that want to run older versions of software and users what want to be on the absolute latest version of the software and with the ideas and ideals of DirectAdmin staff.
