There were a few improvements mentioned in the release notes that caught my eye. The first one caused quite a few changes in moOde but it is not exclusive to the OS bump. The "separate ALSA devices" change also came in the kernel bump to 5.4.y.

- Internal audio outputs enabled as separate ALSA devices
- Add pwm to gpio group
- i2cprobe: More flexible I2C/SPI alias mapping
The release notes for RaspiOS don't mention everything that was fixed or improved though. To get a sense of the entire OS it's necessary to track the other repositories for example firmware and userland.

https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware
https://github.com/raspberrypi/userland
I've never had the time to understand the full process used by the Pi Foundation to build versions of the OS and how they determine which releases/commits from the repos to use but my strategy for moOde has always been to use the latest version of the OS for reliability and stability.
