Is there even an equivalent to WSUS on macOS that lets admins block an update until it's tested?

Yep, a lot of these policies seem to come from some random person scrolling through a list of supported options and arbitrarily making up values that are enforced on people.
One of our policies enforce that screen savers must start after 20 minutes, and it’s not possible to reduce it (I have my personal on 3 minutes). Or the fact that it will constantly reset the UI notification volume to 100% and speaker output, even though have headphones almost always.
Infuriating.
Yes, it's called MDM (Mobile Device Management) and lets admins set all kinds of policy on apple devices. There are several vendors out there that implement it.
There is a configuration profile payload that can stop updates like major version changes for up to 90 days. You cannot stop them indefinitely from appearing in Software Update.
