I would suggest using тАШapt-get dist-upgradeтАЩ, if upgrading manually,
because:

(1) тАШapt upgradeтАЩ will currently never remove a package, even if thatтАЩs
    necessary to upgrade something else.

(2) тАШaptтАЩ is permitted to meaning from version to version, so any advice
    given about it today could be invalidated tomorrow.

When to upgrade:

* I use https://wiki.debian.org/UnattendedUpgrades, which takes most of
  the hassle out of it.

When to reboot:

* /var/run/reboot-required should be nonempty if you need a reboot.

* https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/needrestart should help with
  reboot notifications.

* unattended-upgrades mentions any need to reboot in its email
  notifications.
