Do I need to update my packages?

• semver

  721 7,026 0.6

  Semantic Versioning Specification

  

Most packages follow semver. If nothing is broken and everything works fine, I wouldn't update to a new major release (which often includes breaking changes). Minor releases are often ok to update; patch releases should be fine.

• npm-check

  11 6,543 8.1 JavaScript

  Check for outdated, incorrect, and unused dependencies.

I use https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm-check Make a new branch and update all minor (green) in one go, if that's good I commit and move on, then I update all orange in one go, there's usually an issue so then I undo and split that up and do a few each, committing each time it's all ok. Then I do major (red) one by one and commit each time. Some are too hard to update and I'll leave it alone till probably another update fixes the issue.
