I would upgrade the test environment first and have the development team sign off that there were no bad effects caused by the upgrade.
The first version of 5.0 that I think is particularly useable and not buggy is 5.0.67. I suggest that this is worth the upgrade. In theory there are not significant differences between 5.0 versions after GA other that bug fixes.
