Smart process as discussed above is to get the updates but not upgrade right away.
Wait until the online screaming from the oddball configurations dies down.
Backup all data on the system you can most easily tolerate going down and do that one.
Use it until you're comfortable with the new OS.
(Maybe use it to test the critical apps from the other systems.)
Repeat until all have been upgraded.
No OS upgrade is truly risk free; all you can do is minimize it and hope for the best.
(Corporate IT types wait as much as a year, enthusiasts wait as little as a minute. Everybody else falls somewhere in between.)
