On Fedora live update is turned of by default with a warning saying updating without rebooting is not recommended. As a cautious noob, I left it as is. Too cautious?
No. Fedora sometimes updates configs or packages (e.g. kernel) that require a reboot to take advantage of. If you’re a linux veteran you can decide by yourself if or if not you need to reboot. But fedora wants to have a stable and smooth experience for all its users.

Yeah, rebooting just makes sure that everything is using the new updated packages, so if you update then reboot you’ll be golden

It would be nice if they could do the update with a single reboot. It is annoying to type LUKS password multiple times.
