I am not sure version 18 would a good choice at this time, it has just
been released and has no bug fix releases against it yet. Given the
other complications in your upgrade, OS upgrade and multi-version jump,
I don't think you want to add a brand new version to the mix. Postgres
17 on the other hand has been out a year and has had 6 bug/security
fixes. It is probably a more stable target version.
