Until now I’ve stuck to my resolve to not open that can of potential

In general or specifically for LilyPond?
Frescobaldi has the discussed issue,*compiling* LilyPond is pretty specific
issue due to the infamous Guile2 problem - but I think in general it's fairly
safe to use the latest Ubuntu releases.
I meant generally. My experience with Ubuntu 16.04 is that I very rarely
have to invest any time in OS problems; is that likely to become more
with 17.04 or 17.10?
However, weren't you one of those who "enjoyed" the fun of a major version
update? ;-)
Yes, I was. But I think I know how to avoid that ‘fun’ in future: having
a separate home partition now, I’d just overwrite the old version and
install the new one from scratch.
Best, Simon
