It depends what features you care about. Most features are specific to the
client version and will work with any server version. If you are looking
to take advantage of all of the disk space saving features in repositories
then you need to dump/load the repository to rewrite the data in the new
format. svnadmin upgrade enables some of those features, but not all of
them.

You do not need to do this for client features though, like improvements in
svn merge etc.
