I have to say I update myth all the time with no problems (although
always latest+fixes, never master). But then again I don't mess with
the database manually, I don't install plugins that mess with the dB,
I use LTS releases of ubuntu only. My database has kept going through
many versions now, I'm not sure how to tell how old it is but at least
since 2008. In fact June 16 2008 is my oldest (although not
necessarily the first on this database.) I guess I missed that
anniversary by a few days!
