I am using Archlinux as a server for my infrastructure. Does anyone have experience with ignoring kernel upgrades on Archlinux for a while? If so, how do you decide on what kernel release you are staying? If you upgrade the kernel, have you found a way to circumvent having to restart the machine?

Maybe take a look at this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_live_patching

I just using the linux-lts kernel on servers

LTS kernel would help a little, but it also still receives updates.
Why are you running Arch on a server if you are concerned with frequent updates, though?

IMHO a server would benefit from all updates… but as with all updates a pre-update backup is always wise.
Do you have specific issues to deal with?
