Your thoughts about tests remind me of my own experience.
I'm a junior dev currently and working on a prototype. There are zero tests now in my codebase, which makes me nervous sometimes. In my case it is not because I don't think it would be better to have tests, but because I cannot spare the time currently. Features need to be done, tests come later.
So I'm in a similar situation to you: writing new code, running code, and then fixing bugs.
Overall I think tests might have saved me a bunch of hours, but as I'm still a junior I'm also not very quick at writing tests.
Hope that your tests bring you the sought after stability and save you some time in the future
