This can work for internal software (see people still running old Windows and IE for some random internal app), but breaks down for software with public access. The problem is when a bug is found, and one will be found, the farther behind the current release you are, the harder it is likely to fix.
I prefer to update my dependencies every so often so that I'm never too far behind if I'm suddenly forced to update for some critical security issue.
