Hesitating is healthy. You need to judge whether the benefits  
(improvements in a newer version) outweigh the risks (possibility of  
breakage). I'm pretty sure it will work fine, but ultimately we  
release this under a license that says

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,  
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED

No. These OS updates are under development. The latest stable release  
by OLPC is still 8.2.1.

Regarding your original subject line, there is *nothing* I know that  
would prevent the latest Etoys to work with the latest Sugar. The  
latest Etoys also works with the old Sugar as already installed on the  
XOs.

But you would have to upgrade Etoys yourself, same procedure as ever:
