If that works, I'll move on to 6.

I just did a little experiment:
I
copied my existing Test library (last used with v6.18.1) into a 4.23 portable install and added a DOCX, converted it to EPUB, and removed it. Then I upgraded it to 6.19.1 - the sky didn't fall in, what's more it picked up the existing 'data' folders I put there with version 6, and my calibre://URL links.
I see no point in transitioning via version 5, unless you have developed some private plugins that require older versions of Python or the Qt framework.
Providing you take library and configuration setting backups before you upgrade you can easily revert to 4.23 if something goes belly up -- which it wont -- because you did the backups.
