We are using mongodb-3.2.3(wiredtiger-2.7.1) and have modified some code based on our own requirements, now the latest version is 3.2.8 and fix many issues in wiredtiger like SERVER-24580 which affected our product environment.

I want to know if it's safe to just update wiredtiger to latest 2.8.0 in mongodb 3.2.3? To my knowledge，mongod and wiredtiger are decoupled modules, it's safe to just upgrade wiredtiger version.

Thanks for help.
