There are known data loss bugs in that version. You should at least
make them update to 7.4.13. Running 7.4.5 instead of 7.4.13 is a bad
decision. Note that there is no need for migrating your data or any of
that with an update within the same major / minor version. As long as
the first two numbers don't change, it's a very simple and fast upgrade.
NOT doing it is negligent.
