I am in a similar boat. I am running 3.5.0 on my site. I have put off upgrading it since it's running fine with no problems. I want to see if the newer version would cause problems if I upgraded so I created a virtual machine using Virtual Box and installed Raspian on it, put the latest Weewx and copied my custom skin and other files. It took some tweaking but it was fine.
I haven't made the jump to moving my main site to 3.9.x yet. I have been thinking of waiting for 4 but I could if I ran into some reason to upgrade. The thing that might make me upgrade is getting a better forecasting service. I was using WU but it stopped working and I switched to NWS. I might look into one of the others which might mean I upgrade. Why do you want to upgrade? Unless you change skins you'll see no difference.
