Another option is to wait just a couple of months to upgrade, so you give time to the library developers to put their s* together, fix bugs, and write some documentation.
At the end, from all the features your users could care about, your webpack version is not one of them.
I'm not actually complaining, I'm happy the webpack team is making improvements so fast.
The reason I upgrade so often is they actually make meaningful fixes. Bugs that I find tend to be in github issues as closed and available in the current release. Hence the pain of upgrading.
