I've upgraded multiple Fedora machines from Fedora 19 up to the current Fedora 30 without too much issue.

Contrariwise, I've found various issues with Debian and Ubuntu.

That said, I rarely do dist upgrades of prod systems at all; I install the base os from scratch (pxeboot etc) and use automation to install the rest.

I’m the same. I never upgrade cattle, they get replaced and only pets are upgraded.
I will concede, Fedora has as good a reputation and it's what I run on my desktop at home! Good point.
