I'd say a more robust (and the documented way) is to use a Tomcat-Home

$CATALINA_HOME holds the actual distributed Tomcat-"Binaries" (ZIP/TGZ),
$CATALINA_BASE holds your adapted config, libs and webapps.
This way you can just exchange the CATALINA_HOME with a new version
(say 8.5.15) and restart Tomcat. In case there are differences in
configs between versions, adapt your conf using
https://tomcat.apache.org/migration-85.html#Tomcat_8.5.x_configuration_file_differences
I agree that separating the CATALINA_HOME from CATALINA_BASE is a much
better setup, but if Tomcat was not set up like that already then for a
minor upgrade this complicates the process.
The simplest way to upgrade is the one I documented.
That simple approach is incomplete. It assumes that:
a) the JARs in $CATALINA_HOME/bin haven't changed
b) the names of the JARs in $CATALINA_HOME/lib haven't changed
c) no configuration changes are required.
a) sometimes happens
b) happens when the JDT compiler is updated
c) can be checked via the migration guides
