This "cool kid" is perhaps older than you:-) I did jump to 13.0-RELEASE as soon as possible! In my experience the best time to upgrade is when everyone else is also facing the same issues (or do so a little later) so that any problems you run into, you can get help or hints on at least what else to try. The longer you wait, the harder it gets. A lot of breakage gets fixed right away but some "breakage" is due to some design change and then the user has to do things slightly differently to deal with it. This latter pain is not going to go away and a few months later people are going to forget what they did. You do need to make sure you can revert to the old version if things you care about are not fixed soon enough. I think a better setup is to keep user directories on a separate partition but everything else (except var) on the same partition and use zfs snapshotting to be able to easily revert.
