You could *probably* do this without error - but check through the
changelog for NOTE INCOMPATIBLE warnings. IIRC there are a few things
that changed incompatibly somewhere in that range.
You also tend to miss out on new features in the new default
mimedefang-filter; I usually at least scan through quickly side-by-side
with my existing filter and see what's new, and compare that with what I
changed myself.
