The insidious urge to fix what ain't broke has arisen. I'll probably follow the official documentation, unless someone has a better suggestion.
I'm not running anything unusual and I haven't done much, if any, "customization". I update packages maybe a couple of times a week, so they're current.
Should I go ahead and put myself through this now, or wait until support is dropped and I'm forced?

The official docs have everything, though not as well ordered and concise as they could be.

I’ve taken my server from 11 to 12 to 13. Only issue was 11->12 where backports caused some issue that I no longer remember the specifics of (never broke SSH link), so I just don’t fuck with backports anymore. You need to have your shit together for backports, from what I’ve gathered.

12->13 was abs smooth as butter. Extra 3rd party repos weren’t even an issue. One I had to leave “bookworm” because they didn’t have trixie entries; I found it had no trixie entry by looking at the repo itself - it just kept working no problem after the upgrade anyway.
And I have a “stretch” repo I took from 12 to 13 on another server (it’s mongoDB 4.4 for unifi, an abs shitshow of software those bozos cook up)

Anyway tldr docs are good narry a problem will occur.
