If you have not upgraded, how can you know that IOS 12 is not as fluid? Do you have two phones perhaps?
Cool, so if you have things set the same, like motion and transparency and run apps side by side what are you finding. You could be our tester for actual comparisons.
For the last ten years I've always run the latest OS and NEVER had a problem.
Perhaps you've forgotten what iOS 9 did to the 4S? Ruined a perfectly good phone.
Don't update. It's not worth it. It's never worth it. Performance and batterylife issues - though now the battery life is more significantly worrying, at least on iOS 12.
‘Worth’ must be the _most_ subjective word used anytime someone voices their opinion. That said, iOS 12 has been entirely stabilized compared to iOS 11, it even focuses on helping performance with older iPhones. I would rather update and have the latest security settings, and stabilization, versus using an older version of iOS, which also leaves you open to vulnerability with your security.
I kept using ios 10.3.3 on all my iPhone (mine, wife and daughters). Even, I installed tvOS certificate to avoid download (and automatic install) the new version. Reasons are performance and very good in battery while still compatible with most of apps that I need.
One more thing, I just replaced the battery (6s) which return the speedy performance back.

Agree. This topic is really subjective. Real world chances of being affected on iOS are so slim that it isn't, for me, a worthy enough reason to compel me to update. The only implication that really bothers me (I am running iOS 9 on my iPhone and iPad) is the app compatibility. On the other hand, there are too many disadvantages of updating for me to consider it.
Might be better off installing a tvOS profile to avoid the update download/prompts.
There’s no reason to upgrade if you like what you’re looking at and you don’t mind knowing that you could be subjected to serious security flaws.
For what it’s worth, I think that iOS 12 is an upgrade in speed and efficiency.

there's never been a "serious security flaw" on iOS ever. The scaremongering of updating because of security issues is just that. Everyone is just parroting everyone else. Using old iOS versions is perfectly safe.
There haven't been serious flaws that could be exploited in one way or another? Or there haven't been serious flaws that have resulted in widespread exploitation that has been widely reported on and discussed?
