The main problem is as I said earlier your implementation. There COULD be things that you use (like packages that aren't upgraded or code that doesn't work) which make the upgrade to 1.11 harder. But it should absolutely be possible.
I would consider trying to get to 1.11 as it's like you said an LTS. Going from 1.11 to 2.0 could be harder though - as 2.0 will ONLY support python 3.
