Even if you skip a couple of these, that's still a lot of upgrade/reboot cycles ... each one a possible point of failure. For a jump this big, I heavily recommend getting a new disk and installing clean, It'll probably take less time; you'll dump a ton of obsolete executables/libraries/config files; and you can mount the old disk read-only as a data source.
