Upgrade or not
If you go to Settings -> Overview, you can check that either you have the option to upgrade available or not. In my case it is available on stable channel.
I have few apps that are not yet compatible, so I will wait for a few more days. You may encounter the same depends on the apps you installed.
If you are on production system, I would advise to not upgrade right now and wait til 25.0.1 comes out with fixes.
If you installing fresh, go ahead and install it. You can get quick help from Nextcloud 24 installation article.
