Is updating k3s multiple minor versions supported? For ex if i’m running 1.21 and want to update to 1.24 can i do so directly or do i need to update to .22 and .23 first?

no you cannot https://kubernetes.io/releases/version-skew-policy/#supported-component-upgrade-order

For example, if you’re running version 1.25, ensure that you’re on the most recent patch version. Then, upgrade to the most recent patch version of 1.26.

The policy for all kubernetes distros is single steps between minor versions. no skipping minors.

I’ve actually been amateurishly not aware of this version skew policy and there I’ve bumped K3s based clusters several minor versions some times … it have went well … but okay this is duly noted

Ditto @late-needle-80860, i’ve jumped multiple minor versions on some of our test clusters…but good to know that we should stop that then 🙂
