I have been upgrading FreeBSD on my machines from 10.0 upwards with no
problem.

Recently I have upgraded ZFS based FreeBSD from 12.0 to 13.0 with no
problem.

Even switching from upgraded 13.0-RELEASE to 13-SABLE was not a problem
(some local kernel patches that are not yet in a release).

I noticed that only CURRENT is not suitable for production.

Also switching from UFS to ZFS required drive/array reformat but that is
kind of obvious.

I avoid any other OS at all cost where only possible.
