we have these days pretty often kernel updates and I don't like to reboot my main server too often, on all services do restart gracefully each time, but it's 13.1, so I have to plan update this year
Well, you could of course just judge if the fixes in the kernel update are affecting your setup at all. If there is a security bug in some obscure driver you are not even using at all -- just remove the module and make sure it is not yet loaded. If there is some local privilege escalation, but you do not have any local users, then that update might not be as important to your setup (but beware of unsafe webapps where a user might escape to exploit local privilege escalation bugs). The really urgent security updates for kernels are fortunately not happening that often. And in general: 13.2 has had 5 kernel updates since its release. Does not look that frequent to me...
