You can go straight to 13.
We get this question often. Why do people feel they need to upgrade to
intermediate releases? If we knew, maybe we could better clarify this.
I believe this is coming from the Oracle world. You can, e.g.not
directly go from 9 to18. There are supported upgrade paths and you
need to stick to those, but they are documented.
Not even Postgresql allows you to jump from ancient versions to the most
modern version. (No competent system makes you upgrade to the very next
major version...)
pg_dump version 10+ will dump versions back to 8.0. pg_dump 9.6 reaches
back to version 7.0. So it is possible to upgrade from old versions in
one leap, whether it is advisable is another question.
