Should I upgrade from LTS to another LTS ember version?

I've been trying to upgrade my ember app from 2.18 to 3.4.4 and I just want to know if I chose the correct ember version which is 3.4.4? Any response is much appreciated. Also what are the disadvantages or issues I may face if I jump from 2.18 to 3.8.1?

My personal recommendation is to upgrade from one LTS to the next LTS version. There's a great video from Ember Map that discusses a great strategy for upgrading your ember apps which I will summarize here in case the link ever goes stale.

  1. Upgrade all forwards-compatible packages

  2. Upgrade 3rd-party dependencies and addons, one at a time

  3. Upgrade Ember CLI and friends using ember-cli-update

And in my opinion, use ember-cli-update --to next-lts-version-here. Once you upgrade to the LTS, fix deprecations and tests until all green, and then continue. I used this process to go from 2.16 -> 3.8 over the weekend

The latest long term support is 3.8. here is release cycle. You can jump to 3.8 if suits you. There is a addon named ember-cli-update. It applies changes automatically. Also you can checkout the ember-blog to learn changes.
