Yes. The safest procedure is:
1. Update to the latest point-release of the version you have installed.
2. Read the release notes of the *next* Debian stable version
2a. update to the latest point-release of the next debian stable
version, using the method described in the release notes.
3. clean up
4. repeat 2, 2a, 3 until you arrive at the latest Debian stable version.
Which kinda means it would have been faster for you to do a full backup
(which you should always do before major upgrades, anyway) and install
stretch from scratch, I suppose.
