MacOS Update Dilemma: Prioritize Photoshop or InDesign Compatibility?

I've posted before about InDesign-macOS compatibility and with the help of the community, decided not to update my OS to Sonoma, so I'm still on macOS 12--Monterey (12.7.6). This morning Adobe updated all my apps except Photoshop. I got a message that Photoshop might not work on my older OS. Now I'm stumped regarding what to do--if I update my OS to 15, InDesign might not work. If I stick with 12, I can't update all of my Adobe apps. Both InDesign and Photoshop are essential to my work.

Not that it helps you now, but for the future make sure to disable Enable auto-updates in Creative Cloud app > Updates section to avoid this kind of surprises.

I disabled auto-updaes some time ago after a defective Photoshop update when I had to figure out how to get an older version. My dilemma is that I did not update Photoshop because the pop-up informed me that it may not work properly on my macOS 12, but I'm afraid to upgrade my OS because of unresolved issues with InDesign.

What about Sonoma?

There were problems with Sonoma+InDesign initially - but now is OK.

I didn't update to Sonoma because Adobe still listed problems with InDesign on Sonoma as recently as last summer. I routinely export my InDesign layouts as PDFs, and that was an unresolved issue at the time. At the moment, Adobe says there are no problems, but I'm nervous. Wondering whether anyone is using Indesign on Sequoia without issues.

Just check two first pages of this forum - looks like the same story as with Sonoma initially...
