I upgraded from Ubuntu 17.10 to Ubuntu 18.04 this past weekend and
installed Gnucash 3.1 per the instructions on the wiki. Things went without
a hitch (with Gnucash, anyway) and the new version looks lovely. I've never
had an issue with losing my settings from an upgrade.

I will strongly encourage you to use a separate /home partition. I've done
this for years and it makes upgrading -- dare I say it? -- easy.
