If MariaDB is updated successfully and Plesk continues to work, then what are you worried about?
The update of the MariaDB server library has restarted the server, so there should not be any issues on further restarts.
However, due to a previous bad experience with a faulty MariaDB update (which did not come from Plesk, but from the MariaDB developers) it might be wise to turn automatic system updates off and check the forums before running these updates manually.
Plesk doesn't ship MariaDB, it only downloads it from the original OS vendor repository.I wish Plesk team might create a separate repository for stable MariaDB updates

What was originally included above was a minor update, not an update to 10.4.x so if you're concerned, you could block updates from MariaDB.Yes I understand this, here's my 2 cents,
As Plesk have some limitations with MariaDB versions higher than 10.3, there will always be a risk of an update coming from MariaDB developers..
And I don't want to turn off automatic updates, therefor, to reduce the risk of unwanted breaks in servers, why not Plesk team create a repository for MariaDB and when new version comes up, the team tests it then includes it in the repository..of course if there are no legal issues ... just a suggestion though.

I assume that Plesk doesn't want to take on the management of its own set of databases which has both benefits and downsides (you'll have posters screaming about forced updates and others complaining about behind behind the bleeding edge).
Well let's hope that happens then.. if they did it with PHP packages.. why not doing it with database packages too..
I like Plesk and how greatly it makes it easy for users to maintain servers and so on.. I think maintaining databases could improve the stability reputation compared to other panels like Cpanel...
or making all databases versions compatible with Plesk...which I think they would've done long time ago if that was easily done..so maintaining what's compatible is a good choice.
