Generally I would prefer to upgrade one by one. Doing it that way you don’t miss a script that adapts configuration. It takes a lot of time, but - depending of the installation / configuration of the server - it’s usually less effort and less trouble than a new installation. We have had very few problems with upgrades in recent releases. And when we did, it was less due to the upgrade and more due to problems with functionality caused by changes to one software or another. Sometimes there are problems with dependency conflicts. Usually, then it is easiest to selectively uninstall the affected software and reinstall and reconfigure it at the end. This is still less time-consuming than a complete reinstallation. If you use (older) software modules, check if the version you are using is still included. And check, if an updated software needs explizit and separate data conversion. But that is not specific for an upgrade. You would have these problems also with a new installation. After everything is done, it is useful to briefly check if there are any old leftovers (in the simplest case rpm -qa | grep f32/f33/… There are more advanced methods, check the upgrade documentation in Quick Docs) In case of issues don’t hesitate to contact us.
