To update or not to update?

Data Management

Hoping to get a bit of feedback from somebody other than my VAR on this. At work, we're currently running SW 2023 SP5.0 with PDM standard 2023. We've run in to a few bugs over the last few years since we upgraded, and a few of them we've been told by the VAR that they've been fixed in future releases.

Now that 2025 SP5.0 is out and I've got a little bit of time between projects, I'm wondering if it's worth upgrading? What's the concensus on 2025, regarding bug fixes vs new bugs? There's a couple of new features I've heard of that sound kind of nice, but reliability is very much the prioritiy here.
