Driver updates are for any number of reasons ranging from Security Patches, Feature Updates (Adding / Removing / Upgrading etc), Technology Support, Game Profiles (irrelevant for yourself), Performance Tweaks... etc, etc
Typically it's advisable to keep to the latest update, but there's nothing inherently wrong with using an older version. For your situation I wouldn't be overly worried about using an older driver, but you may eventually run in to a situation of needing an updated driver but that's only likely if you begin using some newer piece of software or something. If a program is unstable this could also be a sign of requiring a driver update
Bottom line; if it ain't broke, don't worry
