I find auto-updating such servers a must. You can never know which kernel bug might make a server a target even with very few to no open ports. But perhaps i am paranoid (we simply auto-update ALL our ~900 Linux servers with no issues at all in the last years). The main problem is to find the right time for auto-rebooting the hosts after upgrade by unattended-upgrades. But you can schedule times in which Veeam should not transfer anything, Linux auto-updates really reboot at the time you tell them to - not like windows auto-updates which sometimes seem to take the value as a "suggestion"
