are there any tangible benefits - performance-wise or security-wise - from upgrading from 5.10 to 5.19?
AMD graphics performance and power management with the new amd-pstate driver are massively improved in 5.19. There's lots of other stuff as well if you check the Phoronix site, that gives a good overview of technical developments.
But if you're running old hardware then all these fancy new features do for you is introduce the possibility of more regressions and other bugs.
]]>I've just upgraded to 5.18 (using 'backports') because some USB wifi sticks I recently bought need 5.15 or greater; unfortunately, they still don't work yet.
EDIT: Just tried Ubuntu desktop live with these wifi sticks & they do work - so I've just got to get the kernel modules into my Devuan installations.

If your box can't see it then change your mirror(s), apt update and try again.
