Nextjs so good. But if you stay in an unmaintained project you need to be careful?

Currently maintain 2-4 NextJS projects but I don't know how maintainability will last.

Been two years since last time I touched some projects and the following cannot be ran if you haven't maintained a project in a while. It seems that if I try to update, I need a good reason such as new feature or for security reasons. Currently not worth updating blog when my automation is too good.

Be afraid of this or not(?):

npm install next@latest react@latest react-dom@latest

Important to note that Google broke their image conventions and can no longer call their servers for serving images? So I have to use DropBox and hopefully those dropbox engineers don't peep into my data?
