I’m currently using five but I’m just curious if you’re going to be continuing to update beyond version 6 because of something that you think is beneficial?

I guess it’s kind of weird to ask this but it’s like if you have an iPhone 13 would you necessarily want to upgrade to 14. It is a along those lines the question I’m asking.
There are some improved glyphs and some new glyphs. in Charis SIL 6.x.

I have fixed some of the more noticeable kerning issues so it looks better. Also, there is now a version that has a smaller space. I like the version with the smaller space for ePub on a Kobo. I've not yet tested that version on a Kindle. I'll be doing so either tonight or tomorrow. But yes, go for the version 6. Any fixes will be for version 6 and not version 5. So if I find any kerning to change, I'll be doing so on the new version as I've already done.

IMHO, go for version 6. Try both versions and see which one you like.
