I do not believe that there is any surefire way of avoiding all effects of Google updates my advice would be to keep the website technically sound publish some meaningful original content not use manipulative link building and watch the traffic and indexing for early detection of problems what changes have worked for others?
there is no magic formula for doing updates i believe. it is best to keep the site clean, refrain from manipullation of links or content nd work with pages that meet the search intent. during the update u should check which pages have been altered rather than making lots of changes all at once.

I gave up and moved on. Got fed up of chasing and throwing good money after bad.

I think the most safe way would be not to use google only. rankings may change but with email list, organic traffic or social media the site will survive.

There is no such thing.
If they change what they want to see in SERPs and you are not it, you are going down.
What you can do instead is get into mindset that it's all temporary and constant modification will be needed to maintain top rankings.

Google spam updates are getting harder to predict, so I focus more on keeping the site clean, improving content quality, and avoiding aggressive or manipulative tactics. Regularly checking Search Console and fixing issues early also helps reduce the risk of major traffic drops.
