Should do-release-upgrade upgrade from 18.04 LTS to 20.04 yet?

[Sheemon Lists]

If this is an old, settled argument, please tell me & I will shut up:

Why "upgrade to 20.04?
I can give you several excellent reasons not to.

If you are interested in an {old,new}comer opinion, tell me.
Please spare me the holy wars, though.  I am too old for those.
Briefly:

*  Severely broken
*  Poorly [if at all] documented
*  Unsustainable in large configurations

*  Yes, most these can be attributed to 18.04 (are they always .04?
    Is this some magic I missed?) but at least there is a body of knowledge
deep
    enough to swim in

Can I sustain these allegations?  Oh, yes.  Dozens and dozens of notes.
My horrible accusations are based on Kubuntu 20.04, desktop edition.
