Waiting for one of those bugs to bite you is a bad plan.

We're not talking about an upgrade to 8.1, 8.2, or 8.3. We're talking about
taking bug-fixes and security fixes for the release you're already using.

Normally it's just a shutdown and immediate restart. There are exceptions
listed in the 8.0.6 release notes which would require a REINDEX but they don't
affect most people.
