You can upgrade either a Gantry 4 or Gantry 5 site to J3.10.1 and won't have any issues with our products (assuming on latest versions). Remember though that I can't speak for any third-party products you may have installed - you need to check those out for yourself.
Gantry 5.5 is not yet released (there are test versions available but they do have bugs) - as such it should NOT be used on a production site.

> There is absolutely no pressure to update Joomla 4
Mark, there is, unfortunately, a great deal of pressure to update on our side. I am hosting hundreds of Joomla sites. All of them were updated to 3.10.0 when that was released. Immediately following that update, Joomla is continually pushing out emails and notices to update to 4.0. This becomes problematic as the days wear on and people begin to stress about it. When clients are stressed, they begin to question that I may not be providing the most up-to-date service and then we start seeing people looking for hosting elsewhere. And it is hard enough to stay in business today with all of the other pressures from competitors.
Now this is the first time that I am hearing about RT looking for testers for Gantry 5.5. I will sign up for that to help move this along quicker. There is much at stake and I will help.
If your Joomla sites Joomla Update Channel is set to anything other than default, you will continually get those emails pushing you to upgrade to Joomla 4 - switch to Default update channel and you wont get them anymore... - Jeff

Please read the above.
TL;DR: Most of Joomla templates have been updated to work with G5.5.x which works with J4, WP and GRAV to follow.

It's March 12, 2023 today. Long after this post was started. Yet the Joomla "Pre-Update" check still shows no compatibility with the most recent Topaz template on Gantry 5.5.
Is it in fact compatible? Is there any new update info on Rockettheme.com related to Joomla 4?

Yes, Topaz 1.5.0 with Gantry 5.5.15 is compatible with Joomla 4. RemoRemember ought that you must also remove any of the old RT “rok” extensions too. Only use up to PHP8.0.x right now., fixes are shortly to be issued in G5.5.16 to deal with PHP 8.1.x and PHP 8.2.x

I tried to update from Joomla 3.x to 4.x tonight on a dev copy website and ran all the pre-checks and thought I had all the incompatible extensions, etc., uninstalled or updated but boy was I wrong. The Ambrosia template wouldn't work without RokCommon library and there were still Rockettheme files with the isSite / isClient issue and that prevents a successful migration to 4.x so you are left with a partial update/migration and broken site frontend and backend and it seems a full restore is needed to get back up and running.
I cannot figure out what I am missing in pre-migrate work to get the site to successfully migrate to 4.x and still use the Rockettheme Ambrosia template.
