Re: How to make sure I am safe to upgrade..?

Definitely do what Daniel advises (back up), plus set up a pre-production server, with the same current config, and try upgrading that one first to know where you're going.

It's not a semver major version increase.

That said, it is always advisable to have good backups when upgrading in case something does unexpectedly go wrong.
