Strictly speaking yes, though the longer you wait the greater the number
of changes you will have to deal with. It is a good idea to read the
Release Notes:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/release.html

for each new release to see how far away the new code is getting from
your existing version. Breaking changes are restricted(with some
exceptions) to the X.0 release where X is new major version. So you can
save some time by just looking at the notes for the .0 releases.
