Many are praising the recent releases of PHP for their quality and performance improvements, and I wouldn't dare argue against that. However, the current release schedule of PHP makes things a little bit difficult for sysadmins. We're now using php-fpm docker containers so that we can (sort-of almost) keep up with PHP updates without doing OS upgrades every single year. A LTS version would be welcome!

If you're using a Debian based OS, Ondřej Surý runs a Debian and Ubuntu compatible repos for up-to-date PHP releases. He's also on the PHP packaging team for Debian proper, so these are basically the updated packages that will end up in Debian stable eventually, but available for the most recent few versions.
