Upgrade from OC 0.7.6

As mentioned in title, I need to upgrade from Big Sur to Ventura or Sonoma.

Wondering if:

1) There is any benefit to upgrading from OpenCore 0.7.6 to latest, and/or

2) Can I upgrade directly to Sonoma [from Settings > "Software Update" within macOS] without changing anything in my current EFI?
