The problem is when you won't notice something went wrong with the update.

You will if you use proper TDD.

What's true of all bugs? It passed all the tests

I don't here about people being bug free with TDD ( though significantly less bugful)

Obviously all about tradeoffs, but my impression is that if a third party lib needs a major version update, the time changing the version in your requirements is dwarfed by the time needed to investigate generally
