I see a bunch of threads about various bugs in Mautic 5 that make it challenging to use for production. I’ve got v4 installed and have been learning the ropes, but I wonder if I should upgrade to v5 before I start using it for real. What do think?

Depends on your set-up and needs.
If you need to upgrade to a maintained PHP version, M5 is a must.
If you use Amazon SES or any other ESP and need bounce management via callbacks, M4 might still be a must. That is until the plugins are ready (some are) and battle tested.
Other than that: There are bugs for M4, too. So, there’s that

I agree with OP: I tried to update from a production system running Mautic 4 to a test system Mautic 5 using the documentation. There were a lot of issues and I still have not a working system. I also got the feeling that the software misses a lot of QA or assumes that everyone starts from scratch with Mautic 5.
