Major Description
We're using an old-ish jQuery, 1.12.4, and should probably update for Spark 3 to keep up in general, but also to keep up with CVEs. In fact, we know of at least one resolved in only 3.4.0+ (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-11358). They may not affect Spark, but, if the update isn't painful, maybe worthwhile in order to make future 3.x updates easier.
jQuery 1 -> 2 doesn't sound like a breaking change, as 2.0 is supposed to maintain compatibility with 1.9+ (https://blog.jquery.com/2013/04/18/jquery-2-0-released/)
2 -> 3 has breaking changes: https://jquery.com/upgrade-guide/3.0/. It's hard to evaluate each one, but the most likely area for problems is in ajax(). However, our usage of jQuery (and plugins) is pretty simple.
I've tried updating and testing the UI, and can't see any warnings, errors, or problematic functionality. This includes the Spark UI, master UI, worker UI, and docs (well, I wasn't able to build R docs)
