I disagree. If you're in your app and need to modify code, it is easier to make all the changes at once and regression test them, than do it twice: you're testing workload is likely to be more if you split the changes.
That depends whether you actually want to modify your app code or whether you just want to upgrade the db software.
Also, it depends on how much stability you want in the production environment. I personally would still trust 7.4.5 if I want the minimum amount of headache. True, testing twice (one for 7.4.5 and one for 8.0) might total in more workload, but potentially has the least amount of downtime possibility.
