Of course, the Ethereum network has been updated for the second year and this is a very long time. In addition, even now it is not known when this update will end. So far, it has only been announced that this should happen this year. Recently I read the news that it was possible for hackers to freely copy any number of ethereum coins. It's good that this was discovered by a member of the ethereum team, otherwise there could be big problems.
There is definitely no need to rush. But if there was no problem with very expensive transactions, one would not have to worry too much. But ethereum is gradually losing its popularity because of this.
