I ran Fedora on my home server for years -- and found the upgrade process between FC's really difficult over time. Stuff I'd configured and had working would break. FC upgrades would take days of fiddling to get stable again. Not upgrading left me open to security vulnerabilities. Some examples are major changes to config files by certain apps - like rsyslog or squid. I also went through the transition from init.d to some other one I can't recall and then to systemd. But I also had a pretty heavily configured/customized system... In the end, I decided it was too bleeding edge for continuous upgrades in my specific environment. I switched to CentOS7 and I keep my configuration in ansible scripts. I also use EPEL and ELRepo for the mainline kernel. But if you're just running a laptop desktop ... and you're willing to reinstall at major revs, or you just don't customize it that much, yeah, give it a try!
