I have been using a version from 2013 for years now, and it has always worked fine for me. Is there any real benefit to updating it to a more modern 2020+ version? Has it been improved much or enough to be worth bothering to do?
I'm usually more of a "If it isn't broke, don't fix it" kind of person. Will the quality of my encoded video come out a noticeable amount better by updating just that x264 encoder?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

Is that hard to do own tests instead of waiting for reply on some forum?

OP is encouraged to do his own test and if conclusive provide the result to the forum.

I doubt you'll see any improvement in quality, might be worth it for speed. Most changes since then are for improvements in speed, minor bug fixes, support for new instructions , and dropping older architectures.
