The main reason I see for not holding off is a bug I encountered on day one of moving to lemmy. Moderators from a different instance to the community "home instance" changing the settings (description, etc.) just breaks the community, kills its federation and causes the link to 404, the only way to resolve is a sysadmin changing the value in their database. That's gnarly and is well worth updating for. Hopefully in future the lemmy devs will do low risk patch releases for critical bugs, alongside feature releases, so that you can update for stability without signing up for new features with new bugs.
