Like many other people I just install the updates each month, and it is many years since this caused any problems.

Failing to install the security updates WILL expose you to security issues, and given the many millions of PCs that have already been taken over and included in botnets, you really don't want to become another one.

I agree with Stuart - go ahead and install them all. It'll make your computer more secure, and the probability of problems is VERY small.
Best wishes,
Hans
