   I'm no expert, but I can't think of ANY worthy reason for
updating/upgrading. I had an upgrade fail once, forced to do a clean
install & I started thinking ...why WOULD I do an upgrade? The clean
install from a USB took 15-minutes from the partition screen to 1st
boot. Took WAY longer to upgrade & in the end failure. Maybe BECAUSE I'm
no expert I can't imagine NOT doing a clean install. 
   With Micro$oft Windows computers I fix for friends, a clean install
is a panacea. Again, maybe because I'm not expert ...but if you have all
your files backed-up, why NOT clean install? Perhaps I will learn the
benefits of updating/upgrading!
