I haven't updated Cygwin in quite a while. I currently have
2.1.0-1 (32-bit) and am wondering if there are any known
issues in upgrading through that many versions.

Are there any preparatory steps I should perform to reduce
the likelihood of problems during the install or post-install
process?

I don't know about if that upgrade is safe or not (somebody else will
tell you) but I recommend backuping your c/cygwin64 directory so that
you can go back if anything goes wrong :)

unlikely.
The version numbering system changed so there is no
big difference between 2.1.0 and 2.5.0
