Would updating MediaWiki destroy/restore anything that was lost due to installing extensions?

Hello. Recently I had a problem with some of the extensions that I was installing which apparently lead to some mediawiki (partially my fault) tables on the back end being deleted. The one that I do notice that still hasn't been restored was title_index, while I was trying to delete something.

At the same time I want to update MediaWiki 1.41, but was wondering what would happen if I tried doing it. Would it have problems because some stuff is missing or would it restore the tables? I want to know this just in case I would have to download my entire wiki to save it.

Thanks

In general, backups can save your day, no matter how the software behaves or not.
