Hi, I agree with Aere, this is especially true if you use multiple DE. I have not really had any problems using the same /home for Lubuntu installs, as nothing drastically changes in Lubuntu... though, the shift to LXQt may prove to negate this one day. So, I think if you are using ONLY Lubuntu the upgrade should be just fine with /home on a separate partition. I have never had any issues with it... but I have only used Lubuntu since around 11.04. Previously I had only used Gnome, and XFCE.
Gnome has had issues occasionally with this problem, though it could be that I do some intense things to my computers and sometimes hack around in things normal users do not need to ever.
