I don't know where you got this information but it seems wrong. From
previous history the last 2 LTS versions are supported (currently
Firefly and Hammer). That would mean that Hammer should be supported
until the L version is released. Infernalis should be supported until
the release of Jewel.

So far we've upgraded every version without issues. But past performance...

Usually you can upgrade LTS -> LTS, so you should be able to go from
Hammer to Jewel. The same should be true to Infernalis. However
minimum versions may apply (like you need at least version 0.94.4 to
upgrade to infernalis).

Usually mons, then osds and then mds and radosgw. But if there's
something different it'll be published in the release notes.

If it was me, depending on what you value most: if you prefer
stability and a conservative approach I'd install Hammer. If you
prefer features and performance I'd install Infernalis.
As an example all major players (like Redhat, Fujitsu, Suse, etc) use
only the LTS versions for their distros.
