My team's hosting is using ubuntu 14.04 server and it is running well for our websites but we see that ubutnu 16.04 claims to be more stable and faster. And Ubuntu 16.04 ships with systemd which is killing our administrators, painful. Should we upgrade it now?

Ubuntu 14.04 will receive security updates until 2018, so there is no necessity to upgrade at the moment.
