I've had the same experience with the current enterprise Android project I've developed and maintained by myself (at a company). I have my library versions all in my top level gradle file and every few cycles I'll go through and update everything to latest and just build the app and see what happens. It's rare anything bad happens at all. I encounter far more trouble upgrading gradle and the build plugin itself than my dependencies.
