Postfix tends to be pretty much a drop-in replacement for older 
versions, so I wouldn't worry too much about the risk of upgrading 
Postfix itself. There's of course the software that may have an 
interaction with it, and that's something only you can judge.

We have the latest Postfix 2.9.x on CentOS 6, compiled from source, 
because we need XCLIENT support for our setup. Reverting to the stock 
package is possible with a forced reinstall, but it hasn't been
necessary.

You can install it in parallel, test it on non-default ports, and then 
move the new version into production if there are no hickups. Careful 
planning is basically all it takes :-)

Mvg,
Joni
