If you do the upgrade to 15.2, I suggest you check your settings and ensure that it doesn't uninstall the current version you have. That way you can revert... also DO NOT open and save over a project file, often when you open in a newer version the project file cannot be read in older versions, at some point Adobe was trying to make this less of an issue but DO NOT take the chance with project files.
15.2 has a bit more issues that most people would enjoy (myself included). 15.1 was rather good for me, but 15.2 makes some substantial changes to the render engine move to DirectX 12. If you don't have to be at 15.2, try 15.1 for a while.
As for how often hardware support drops between versions, it does happen, but you can mitigate that risk by checking the requirements before the upgrade, leaving your old version installed while you test the new version, not overwriting your older project files with new versions etc. There is a discipline you need to follow to avoid upgrade drama.
