I don't think so.

The current Oracle logic is:

u(N) : security fixes only
u(N+1) : security fixes + other fixes

I always take u(N+1), but the chance that you actually need one
of the additional fixes is microscopic.

But the risk that one of the other fixes actually break
something is also microscopic.

You can always study the release notes.
