That's sensible. Good thing is, that it's very hard to change Bitcoin. If one side had a very good reason, Bitcoiners would accept it by themselves. If you just keep your node as it is (knots or core) and don't update, nothing changes.
I'm just reminded of those messages from my bank, warning me of scams by telling me what I should look out for. One point they all mention is, that "urgency" is a constant tool. This creates uncertainty and maybe even fear. Decisions made from fear are not good decisions.
