Agreed - I drive-by minor version updates at every opportunity that I can because I know if I don't, things will get pretty painful sooner or later.

I used to do this before I discovered renovate [1] - now we spend time working on major upgrades but minor are generally automatic (assuming they pass tests)

Oh nice - do you get many problems that slip through even though tests pass? I had a minor update to the Stripe SDK recently that broke something.

We do get very occasional issues in our React app, but not enough to outweigh the benefits of things staying up to date.
