Basic features are all the same.
Some options and reports changed along the way, so you might need to
manually File - > Open your data file when you upgrade. And you may lose
saved reports.

I agree don't upgrade if not absolutely necessary but I will likely be
replacing this computer in a few months so starting from a newer
installation is much more likely to happen in that case.
So you're saying I should be able to do three stages of 2.6.last,
3.x.last and then 4.x.last?
Are there any big changes to basic functionality from 2.6 to 4.x? I'm
making my way through the change logs but a lot of it is related to
various features I don't use (at least that which I've read thus far).

At every version you should load your data file and then save it.
While there is no requirement to upgrade, and "if it ain't broke, don't
fix it" may apply, if you have a system crash and need to rebuild your
system, it'll be easier to use recent versions.

Ok, I've been running along on 2.6.3 on Win 10. No issues to date that
I can see.
I know there's been various changes throughout the rest of the 2.x and
3.x series and we're now on 4.x which sparks some questions:
Do I really need to update? I only use the basis ledgers for standard
banking accounts, credit cards, loans, mutual funds; scheduled
transactions; and basic reports (typically just the standard transaction
report when I need a list for taxes). I don't use online transactions,
imports, or business features. Can I assume that the basics still work
the same way?
If it's better for me to go ahead and update how painful will it be to
update?
I recall some suggestions previously about upgrading in increments and
if that's the case how many increments am I going to need (hopefully not
one for every point version)?
