Magento 2: Load patches or update

Question

I'm aware that this probably isn't the first time this question has been answered, but I'm wondering what is the best approach to keeping my magento 2.3.1 install secure: Should I update to 2.3.2 or install patches?

How risky is it to update Magento between minor versions?

Thanks!

I would suggest to update to the new version on your staging environment, run the regression. If everything turns out fine, roll out the new version in production.
