I wouldn't worry about it. Package managers tend to usually take care of
security updates. (Of course there is criticism of Linux Mint saying
they're not as great at this...) Looking at Ubuntu 16.04, they are still
on 3.5.1 (plus Ubuntu's own patches):

Unless you have some specific bug you're avoiding, I think you should be
okay. Or at least, I personally would just stay with the package version
if I were in your shoes.
