The short answer is yes.

The long answer is, unless you have an unusual system (say, a bunch  
of machines doing a pre-press workflow, or a server, etc.) then you  
should just update and not spend too much time hand-wringing about  
each one that comes along. Generally, they fix a variety of little  
problems, and don't break anything that the average user would be doing.

You can always find someone who had some obscure problem with an  
update, but generally waiting is not going to make that issue go  
away. You're always going to hear from a vast majority of people who  
say "no problem" and a few that have issues. If you have a specific  
piece of key software to check on (say, a particular version of  
InDesign, Quark, Maya, Final Cut etc. and you can ask within a user  
community where there are a substantial number of people with  
comparable software, then you might get some useful feedback.  
Otherwise, when a person says they do or don't have problems, it  
really doesn't mean anything w/r to whether you should upgrade or not.
