To renew or not to renew?

If I don't need the features included in the update, I simply don't update.

There is absolutely zero reason to update your license until you either 1) need support, 2) are ready to update your site to the latest version of software. If neither of those things are true, there's no reason that you "need" to renew your license.

I have two licenses that are currently expired, one that expires in two days, and another that expires on the 10th of this month. Only one of those sites is running on XF 2.3.6. The rest are on 2.3.7. Why would I pay to update those licenses right now? Those licenses won't get updated until a new version comes out, with something that I need, and I'm ready to upgrade them.

My annual renewals are coming up but it's been silent most of this year from XF. If I don't renew and things come alive later, I assume I can renew at that time and be back on track for upgrades, etc.? I hesitate renewing not knowing the status of this company and product right now.

Opinions?

Do you have the latest 2.3.7 installed? If so, then wait for the next version. It's worth renewing even if it's a single point update like 2.3.8 as they're all important. If not, then you should install the latest asap for the latest security and bug fixes and that means renewal now.
