Here is what I would do.
Pull down the latest respin and slip LIC.
Then install the latest groups.
That should prevent the normal pitfalls of jumping TRs when applying the latest PTFs.

All -
After working since 1989 as a consultant I recently changed jobs, and one of my new duties is system administration.
My new employer operates very lean but not chintzy - we have current software support contracts for everything, including any non-IBM software. I'll eventually replace my boss who is the current wears-all-the-hats person (IBM i admin, JDE admin and all necessary program development / bug fixes).
Hopefully I'll be able to persuade them to buy me a copy of RDI !
It has been a long time since I worked with PTF's.
One concern is that no PTF's have been applied on this system since they went thru a system upgrade in 2019, so I need to determine what is needed and get the PTF's and TR's installed.

Thanks for any guidance, I'm currently looking at the IBM i PTF guide at
