Since you have not mentioned the Postgres version you are on now, there 
is really no definitive way to answer this.

Though as a rule keeping up with minor updates to whatever major version 
you running is a good idea. Should be noted that at some point ~5 years 
from a version's initial release the minor updates will stop. That is 
when community support ends. Then the answer to any problem you have 
will start with; you should upgrade.
