I don’t know whether there will be another update needed or not. You might get regular security updates for this version until the end of 21H2 support. And I think the normal support for H2 versions is 18 months. We will have to wait and see whether Microsoft increase support for 21H2 or not. If not, you will have to upgrade it to 22H1 etc …
