Yes. You should create an ArcGIS Enterprise backup before upgrading Workflow Manager Server.
Upgrade your single-machine Workflow Manager Server deployment version to 11.4. Then, set up additional Workflow Manager Server machines and configure them for high availability.
Why am I getting an error message about my Workflow Manager user type extension after upgrading to Workflow Manager Server 11.4?
The license requirement for the Workflow Manager user type extension was removed at 11.2. This behavior occurs if members were assigned a Workflow Manager user type extension before upgrading. Unassign the user type extension to stop receiving the error message.
Workflow item upgrades became optional at 11.1. While you are not required to upgrade your workflow items, upgrading is recommended to avoid problems in the web app.
