It is always recommended to stay current.... Security / bug fixes / updated features

The current stable release of Monterey including bug fixes, is macOS 12.5.1

Agree with previous suggestion.

There are times an upGrade may fix existing issues, on balance, sometimes the upgrade can Amplify existing unresolved issues.

Do you have a Rescue Plan In-Place. This comprises having 3 Backups using 2 methods and 1 Off Site incase of Theft, Loss or Natural Disasters. A Time Machine Backup  is very useful.

For addition purposes - two Tested Clones each to separate external drives. This is insurance incase the upgrades goes sideways. At least one Tested Clone and / or Time Machine Backup should be Off - Site

Does my CCC backup have to be bootable for me to restore data from it?

Q - "Plus, the software update no longer seems to find Monterey. I tried four times this morning. NUTS! "

A - MacOS Monterey 12.5.1 - Apple Community may contain possible solution
