Unless all of your third party plugins, audio driver and related software is Sierra compatible do not automatically upgrade without checking the forums first.
Logic 9 users, do not upgrade to Sierra, there are problems. Logic 9 will probably never be fully supported in Sierra.
I'm not using it but do you know if 10.2 works with Sierra or what the compatibility is?
Logic Pro X 10.2 release notes - Apple Support
I understand there are a lot of 3rd party plugins for effects and amps, whatever and these are dependent on the OS as well as the stability of the app but does the base 10.2 run in OS 10.12?
I can't answer your question but every time there's a "name" update OS, the troubles in this forum go through the roof. And that includes the Logic version concurrent at the time any given New OSX version was released.
It's not just plugins, amps whatever... many here use separate audio interfaces, many of these are USB based, many of these interfaces require custom drivers by the manufacturer, OS updates have often caused failed USB devices. Also, some system compliant USB devices have been rendered inoperable as Apple upgrades the system USB drivers for each new OS release.
If you run Logic, it's much better not be a guinea pig and hold off a few weeks, that is if recording/playing back audio if important to you.
I only upgrade the MacOS when there's a new version of LPX that has features that I want that will only run on a newer operating system. Otherwise it's a sea of trouble for no reason.

Exactly, mindful upgrading.
My other post got deleted. Probably because I swore in it,
It's the yearly dance that we all know the steps to...
"My Logic is broken....."
"Revert to your backup."
"I didn't do a backup..."
You left one out, after "My Logic is Broken"
Then comes:
This is urgent, "I'm in the middle of a very important project."
you music dudes need to come over to the OS X forums or the iOS ones to hear some real gems. Yesterday I had someone who had a CD and they wanted to sell the music on itunes because they couldn't find it there, they did not own the music, but sought royalties from sales....
...Come to think of it that's how the sales end of music biz has been explained to me by my friends who are session players.
There's a portion of truth in that statement, the other half is the greed/bottom line of record companies added to the Internet pirating added to the plethora of great recording equipment at a fraction of the cost to even rent a studio for a week. Someone with good ears, a hunk of "Talent" and a solid understanding of recording/editing can make remarkable recordings for a under a 1K software investment. There used to be a fellow 10-12 years ago that used an old Cubase 5 program and made stunning pop masterpieces using the stock plugins... a shadow of what Logic is now. Most people will use only 10% of Logic's capabilities.. and that may be a high estimate. Most of the time it comes down to talent and hard work.
Agreed. It's along the lines of why I wrote this little piece...

Hi Paul,
Nice blog and article. So, so true about the four-track cassette deck, even had a Yamaha that would run at 3.75ips, love the sound of some of the recordings I made back then... the value of limitations cannot be underestimated.
The organization, the choices made when no going back is possible.
I bookmarked you a year or two ago, this time I put it where it can be seen, I'll be back.
Logic Users, Stop Mindlessly Upgrading the OS
