The FreeBSD Handbook says:

"Generally, installed applications will continue to work without
problems after minor version upgrades."

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/updating-upgrading-freebsdupdate.html#freebsdupdate-portsrebuild

Which is somewhat at odds with the message you saw from
freebsd-update:

"Completing this upgrade requires removing old shared object files.
Please rebuild all installed 3rd party software (e.g., programs
installed from the ports tree) and then run "freebsd-update install"
again to finish installing updates."
