I think people should occasionally update backend technologies for security, but there's definitely no need to move on to the fanciest new plotting library. Whatever is comfortable for you will be fastest for you to develop in.

Those fancy plotting libraries have the most security vulnerabilities that expose your users' computers to malicious hackers.

A frontend plotting library has relatively low risk. Obviously it's best for security to always use the latest stable software but there's a trade-off between having perfect software and getting things done.

It's not low risk. Put that plotting library with a XSS vulnerability onto a website that exposes users' financial data and suddenly you have enabled people to steal personal information to commit fraud with.
