WG1608: Should I upgrade FW from 18.06 GO2020-06-10 ?

Been using my wg1608+em12g daily for past year or so. Everything seems to work alright using "openwrt-18.06 branch (git-20.029.49294-41e2258) / GoldenOrb_2020-06-10"
Does anyone know if there are any benefits or bug fixes in the latest firmware that may make it a good idea to flash to it?
I believe the latest is GoldenOrb 2021-08-1 and uses OpenWrt 19.07.6?

Wise words, not often followed by most though eh?
I wasnt sure if any performance issues that I may be unaware of were added to the new FW (aside from 5g wifi which I dont need)
If I will have the same exact performance I may as well not touch it.
Appreciate if anyone thinks of any fixes in the latest FW that we may be unaware of.
Cheers!

Adds some VPN support, gets 5GHz wifi working, works with IPV6 connections. If you don't need any of that, I wouldn't touch it.
