My current firmware on my Sonoff Dongle P is CC1352P2_CC2652P_launchpad_coordinator_20220219.zip. So it's pretty old. Should I update firmware to a newer version even though my network is pretty stable? I have 74 Zigbee devices in Zigbee2MQTT.

I think so. I have experienced issues with a few devices but I don't think that was firmware related.

According to Google Gemini newer firmwares have a fix for NWK_TABLE_FULL that may appear when you have a lot of devices. So I might experience that later on... It also says that many users report a more stable network generally in addition to a faster recovery of the zigbee network after a reboot/power outage.

Before further step, do you have several backups in several locations? 🙂
Generally speaking, the update of a software is to fix bugs and improve performance. That said, if you fear of something breaking, don't update, but eventually maybe you'll be forced in a future due to HA software changes
And remember, always keep several backups
