You should never upgrade to the latest macOS due to performance loss issues.

  It depends. Sometimes macOS upgrades are worth it for new features. For me personally, I installed Big Sur for the ability to use Stereo HomePods as an AirPlay output (previously you could only choose one, but not both in stereo). It made my movie/tv/video watching experience so much better that it's worth the downside of slightly lowered performance. That said, because macOS is not a fully sandboxed system like iOS, it's probably worth doing an erase install every 3-4 years, especially if performance has dropped noticeably. I did this with the 11.4 mid-cycle update earlier this year and it was helpful on my 2014 machine.

  You definitely should because of so many of the hacks that have come out.
