Upgrade path for older 5.5

I have an ESXi server running 5.5.0 Build 1746974, which is a patch dated 04/19/2014. I'm looking to upgrade it to the latest version of 5.5, which is build 9919047 (ESXi550-201809001). I read on KB articles that patches are cumulative, so in theory I should be able to just install this one patch. However, I'm concerned about the huge age gap and jump in version. Should it be okay to apply this one patch? If not, is there a better upgrade path to the latest 5.5 version?
