As long as you're looking at 3.x.x and higher*, then if it's a stable release
(where only the third number has changed, e.g. 3.0.8->3.0.13) you shouldn't
need to. We don't do big world-breaking/data-format-changing changes in stable
releases like this.
That said, we might have fixed a bug between the versions, and your existing
data might be bad due to the bug that was fixed, and you might need to run
commands like these after upgrading to the fixed version to repair the bad
data. If I know this is the case, I'll say so in the release notes (so check
those, including for the intermediate releases if you're skipping over some).
But I might not know until someone upgrades and reports that they needed to do
it.
So, if it doesn't say you need to do it, you probably don't need to do it. But
if you don't do it, and things like quota or conversations seem weird after the
upgrade, try these sort of commands. And if it fixes it, let us know (on the
mailing list or a github issue) so we can retcon the release notes to mention
it for the next person. :)
* For people looking at 2.5 and earlier, this pattern doesn't necessarily hold,
and I don't know enough about those older versions to provide general advice.
If in doubt, ask the mailing list, and if you can run a recent version (that's
closer to what's in Fastmail's organisational memory), that's your best bet ;)
Cheers,
