So I am considering switching everything to ver. 18.04, as it works,
and I won't have to reboot into a different version just to scan one
page.
Are there any reasons not to? Ver. 18.04 is an LTS version, so will be supported for a while. Maybe by 2022, or even 2024, Canonical will
have made its current version user-friendly again.

Not really, as long as you accept the shorter support lifetime.
Software packages will be less up to date, although you can mitigate
that somewhat by installing apps from snaps (where you get the
opposite problem - things are constantly upgrading to the latest -
and the sandboxing model can sometimes get in the way).
If you're doing dev stuff it gets more annoying as things are
starting to depend on more recent tools (cmake, LLVM), but probably
OK for general desktop use.
