wajig update; wajig distupgrade; sudo reboot
wajig install update-manager-core
sudo do-release-upgrade

Upgrade Ubuntu 21.04 to 21.10 20211021 Utilised command line do-release-upgrade to Impish Indri. Ubuntu (Wayland) would not start so reverted to Ubuntu on Xorg. Everything else seems fine after updating some GNOME shell extensions (dash-to-panel, frippery move clock, open weather, panel date format). The workrave panel extension is not working though.

Upgrade Ubuntu 20.10 to 21.04 20210615 Utilised command line do-release-upgrade with -d. Wayland would not start so reverted to Ubuntu on Xorg. Everything else seems just fine.

Upgrade Ubuntu 19.10 to 20.04 20200502 Utilised command line do-release-upgrade. No backup required since all of the project work and the system configurations are stored remotely in a git repository and documents are kept on a nextcloud server.

All went smoothly and after removing snd_hda_intel.dmic_detect=0 from /etc/default/grub sound was fully functional, including the microphones for the first time, noting that the required module snd_soc_skl_hda_dsp was loaded at boot.
