Do I really need a BIOS update if the laptop works fine?

HP Support Assistant keeps nagging me about a new BIOS version. Laptop runs fine, no issues. The release notes are vague. Is it worth the risk or should I leave it alone?

I'd do it. Most BIOS updates now are security and microcode fixes rather than features, so vague notes are normal and works fine isn't really the point. Charger plugged in, don't close the lid or touch it while it runs. Through HP's own tool it's about as low risk as these get.
