I upgrade all dependencies every time I deploy anything. If you don't, a zero day is going to bite you in the ass: that's the world we now live in.
If upgrading like that scares you, your automated testing isn't good enough.
On average, the most bug free Linux experience is to run the latest version of everything. I wasted much more time backporting bugfixes before I started doing that, than I have spent on new bugs since.
