It depend on your environment. In my experience absolutely yes.
It's still early to upgrade on version 7.

My experience on v6.4.6 upgrade was a nightmare. Have been using v6.4.3 since Dec.2020 and absolutely no issues. We have 3 Internet links and configured with SD-WAN 2 years ago. Upgraded to v6.4.6 on 22-Jul-2021 and have reported issues across different office locations of connection getting dropped intermittently. Raised TAC with Fortinet and they have confirmed bug as may of their customer reported issues when they are working on Latency sensitive applications like MS-Teams, Citrix, Office365 which is similar to my issue. I have rolled back to v6.4.3 and will wait until the v6.4.7 is released.

712586 - SNAT sessions on the original preferred SD-WAN member will be flushed after the preferred SD-WAN member changes, so existing SNAT traffic will be interrupted.
interesting bug indeed. i assume you use multiple interfaces in sd-wan and change which one based on latency or such?
this wouldn't be an issue if the connection just fails completely, but if you failover based on quality, i can imagine it is annoying for sure.

We had a lot of issues with SD-WAN as well. Migrated to 7.0.1. Works great. Some minor issues...
