No, do not do -Syy, do -Syu or -Syyu. -Syy just leads to problems.
It *just* leads to problems? Mmm; it *may* lead to problems, yes.
Experience of what
happens in practice tells me that it will almost certainly be fine and
will avoid a potentially long
and unwanted system update in the middle of work.
But yes, technically, it's better to do -Syu so that you're not
potentially installing a package
that was built against another package that you have have an
out-of-date version of, possibly
leading to the new package segfaulting or failing to launch.

If you do it habitually, yes, you WILL run into problems eventually.
