I currently work with Postgres 13. I forgot to mention that. From which I gather that around version 18 it would be time to upgrade. But in the interim I’d be OK.
Right?

Since you have not mentioned the Postgres version you are on now, there is really no definitive way to answer this.
Though as a rule keeping up with minor updates to whatever major version you running is a good idea. Should be noted that at some point ~5 years from a version's initial release the minor updates will stop. That is when community support ends. Then the answer to any problem you have will start with; you should upgrade.
