Reasonable, as long as the version you are running is still supported...
And if it isn't, you should upgrade. But when? Immediately? Or later when an issue crops up (since you'd likely have to change something, then, anyway).
I *always* wait at least a few days, if not a week or two *after* an update is available before upgrading, monitoring the support list for any gotchas... but... I always do update as soon as practicable.
Waiting almost always keeps me from any major bugs from new packages (one exception was a minor update to mailman that changed directory locations), and still lets me stay up to date with the latest stable releases.
