This is exactly how I do upgrades. I usually skip odd versions, for reason I'm not able to explain, they just seem not as stable as even ones.. So I went from 6 to 8 and now I'm planning to hop to 10.
The best way to upgrade for me has been to install F-(n+2) to a scratch partition still *during rawhide development* as this is when developers can do the most changes without being strangled with updates-testing, bodhi and stuff.
From my experience, once a release goes out, you're less likely to get a fix than when reporting against rawhide..
And yes, I like the factor of being "bleeding edge" as well as having lots of software *and* community of contributors (as opposed to just "users"). Fedora rocks.
