I feel like a lot of people do this instead of upgrading to newer versions, even maintenance patches.

And I get that upgrades can be scary, but often they are relatively low cost.

Leaving everyone on the old system unhappy… means they will eventually push to re-platform, or rebuild, instead of just doing suggested maintenance along the way to keep they system they have in good shape.

My advice… do the maintenance. Do all the maintenance! Don’t just drive it into the ground and get mad when it breaks; change the oil and tires and spring for a car wash and some new wiper blades every now and then and you’ll be happier in the long run.
