As you already mentioned the changelog is your key place, probably a LTS version might give you much stability.
Some advice's: - UI upgrade from 1.574, so you might be affected if you use any custom theme. - You can backups the JENKINS_HOME and run a docker instance locally and test it before upgrading your production environment. That's how I normally do 'major' uogrades. - If you use puppet/chef/Ansible you can easily track your jenkins infrastructure, that's how I avoid manual actions and track my set of Jenkins instances, and also I use docker to test it locally as I've already mentioned.... - Although sometimes I'm forced to rollback some plugins (via puppet) rather than the jenkins itself. It is worth if you track your plugins and their versions/dependencies and uninstall those ones you are not using at all.
