Should I Upgrade?

Java 13 is end-of-life since 2020-03-17. Unless you have a commercial support contract for this version and a compelling reason to stay on the old version you should definitely upgrade to a newer version with active support.

Please consider upgrading to a current long term support LTS version Java 17 or Java 21 to rely on a maintained platform and get advantage of the latest features and improvements.
