Dear criev,
The latest release of WordPress is 4.3. I have not experienced problems in my own installation and you should know that the WordPress team and the community works hard to test new versions thoroughly, and may go through multiple release candidates before releasing it.
However there is probably no such thing as a bug-free software and there may always arise problems. You should further distinguish between problems in WordPress when you install it fresh, and problems that are the result of plugins you install, themes you install, code changes you make etcetera. The first may indicate ‘real’ problems with the WordPress core, the last is usually a result of wrong code created by developers and that are not related to the WordPress software itself.
The WordPress team will always work on updates so in the future there might be a 4.3.1 and a 4.5 that aims to be better than the previous version. However that is always a continues problem.
My advice to you is to backup your site and update to 4.3. In case something goes wrong you can troubleshoot it and if you are unable to do that in the time you want you can always revert back to your backup. That way you can see whether you like 4.3 in a kind of risk-free manner.
Hope this helps. If it does please mark this topic as resolved.
Kind regards,

Thank you for your response. I backed up my site and did update to 4.3. So far, no problems.
Dear criev,
I am glad to hear all is working out for you.
Just want to add that if there is ever any critical bug / flaw in WordPress that would go unnoticed during testing etcetera (which is extremely unlikely) it would be top priority for the WordPress team. They would most likely remove the update in that case, so that no additional people could update, and only release it again when fully fixed.
All the best to you!
Kind regards,
