Should I update iPhone to iOS 17.6.1 even with reported issues?

I’m considering updating my iPhone 14 Pro Max to iOS 17.6.1, but I’ve heard that some users are experiencing problems such as green or distorted displays after installing this update. Given that such issues could potentially affect the functionality of my device, I’m concerned about the risks involved. I want to ensure that the update will not cause significant problems with my phone’s display or overall performance. Should I proceed with the update, or would it be better to wait for further feedback or additional fixes from Apple? its 4.31 GB update

Don't do it for now. Like most updates, it is good to wait 30 days until any bugs could get worked out. I have had a discussion with Apple since I went to 17.6.1 on my Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max and a problem with using the email app at all. They've also have bugs in other programs. I had Apple remotely log into my iPhone Friday and do a diagnostic and they told me they know they have problems going on right now and they expect an update beyond 17.6.1 soon. So, wait a bit because 17.6.1 was also a test trial for iOS 18's upcoming release. On Friday, August 16 Apple told me their update would be out by Saturday but it hasn't happened yet so we all just have to be patient.
