The most popular mediocre band to ever exist. They aren't amazing, but they aren't necessarily poor. They don't play too fast, but they never play too slow. Jerry Garcia's guitar playing is nowhere near prodigious, but he is good, and he can carry a jam. They're studio material isn't terrible, but it's not amazing, and it has never really changed or strayed to different genres or styles. They're live material is overbearing if you're not on acid, but some of it sounds really good.

In conclusion, they are the perfect 5/10.

I prefer more unstable music.

This is still the one thing I will never agree with you on.  Have you seen them live? I've seen the closest thing and that's the Dead. And even without Garcia (who is for sure in the top 10 guitarists or all time) they were absolutely fantastic. Although they do have a lot of mediocre songs, listen to an album like Workingman's Dead, the song writing is unbelievably good. And it's even better if you can listen to live versions of the songs. (especially a song like Dire Wolf).  They didn't have a cult following for nothing. They are legit amazing.
