Yeah, I do that more or less the same way. Usualy I dont hurry to upgrade.

How are you guys doing it? I'm looking to be around 6months behind release, or at least 3months but only if there are compelling reasons, so that I'm not on a any bleeding edge bug ...  That's for the product nodes. 

Private "for fun" nodes I keep updated unless I have wallets on them that contain coins.

if you're updating to Bitcoin Core 28.0, then set the following flag to suppress a breaking RPC change that may prevent lnd from starting up: `-deprecatedrpc=warnings`

otherwise I wouldn't hesitate to upgrade as this release contains some of the most consequential p2p updates for LN since segwit (1p1c and TRUC)

the sooner full nodes update, the sooner we can use the new features to make LN safer in high fee environments!
