Not very often - it isn't broken so I'm inclined to leave it that way.
What I will do (but didn't have the hardware for in the past) when I
want to do anything but OS (Debian) updates is clone the current
backend system to my old PC and upgrade that. I've setup my frontend
with spare partitions so I can install a second instance on that (or
rather clone the first). So I can upgrade clones of both backend and
frontend and test them.
If that goes well, I can upgrade the real backend and switch to using
the new frontend.
For OS updates, I just make sure I have a current backup I can roll
back to if needed.
But at least it's only me to get annoyed if I "break TV"
