Possibly, that depends a lot on what your system looks like.  (E.g: if
you run on a Pentium 4 system with hyperthreading with an SMP kernel,
you do really want to get the bugfix for 1854, since it will otherwise
cause random hangs when apt-get upgrade-ing.)

Please do test upgrades, as we would very much like to find any bugs
you stumble across and fix them before release.  (And it should be
safe to upgrade, that's how most developers are handling their own
systems.)
