I see this situation as part of the "lack of information" problem. Customers are left to guess "what's going on?" Maybe the "latest" addresses a problem with one specific firmware release that is no present on other releases? No one knows.
I'm not interested in being the first to update & past experience shows the Orbi software team has credibility problems as do some of forum users. At this point for me, a real test of the reliablity of the firmware version is the actual percentage of people using it. If I don't see a good percentage of people using the firmware, I see no reason to update.
I have had the RBK50 for 2 years. The hardware is good, the software support is horrible/non existent. I replace my routers every 3 years so I plan to replace my router next year & at this time I don't expect to buy either Orbi or Netgear.

My friend down the road that I set up his Orbi 50 series back in 2017 is still working for him. Updates aumatically for him. Has has no issues since we installed it.
Good Luck though.
