It the machine is stable, I wouldn't do anything more that driver updates
for new hardware, unless you want to play.

It's safe, but there's really nothing to apply other than drivers and
kernels.

You might want to discuss how it failed. There may be workarounds.

The word is backups.

It's still dicey. It's an option with lots of variables which means lots
of opportunity for failures.
