Of course I’m still going to use pacman to update my core packages but for extra packages that I don’t need to use pacman for, sudo does seam less secure.

You use the amount of security you’re comfortable with, of course! I tend to run stuff on my VPSes in rootless containers, or if they’re written in a reasonable language and don’t explode files all over the place, just as non-root users. But for my desktop? It doesn’t matter. If you get some malicious code running as you, you’re cooked either way.
