I have Sequoia 15.5 updated a time of two from earlier versions of Sequoia - no problem with any of them.

Hi,
I waited quite a while to upgrade from Sonoma, since I have a lot of audio (DAW and plug-ins) software that need updates and qualification for new versions of macOS. Since the upgrade a few months back, it has been rock solid and no issues to report.
macOS upgrades are dependent on the Mac model you are running and any software that may need updates/upgrades. Historically, older Macs have a "soft limit" on the version they can upgrade to, since the oldest ones still supported may not work well with any new functions, or simply don't have enough hardware power to run the latest macOS smoothly.

When a new OS is released, I typically wait no more than a week to upgrade to the newest version. My thinking is that one week is more than enough to hear the feedback (good or bad) about the update. Upgrading is also important for security reasons as new versions often contain security fixes for previous versions.

Sad but very true. I have a perfectly good 2017 iMac - 27" display, 40 Gb RAM, 2 Tb hard drive, incredible graphics card, all of it working perfectly to this day. I have already been disappointed that I can't get several apps, and now no Sequoia for me.
Here's the problem: Having this all-in-one computer means that I can't just replace the processor, I have to get a whole new computer. According to the people at the Apple Store, I cannot get a new Mac mini and repurpose my current Mac as a display only. I will not under any circumstances be going back to PC, but from now on I will also not be getting any more all-in-one Macs.
