In my opinion, yeah, “just update everything” is one of those dumb blanket tips people throw around like it’s always safe. I’ve had more sites break from a routine plugin update than from actual hacks lately. Usually it’s some weird admin-side conflict or a plugin stepping on another plugin’s toes, and then you’re burning time on nonsense nobody mentioned in the sales pitch.
