Hello @federico_falcone 

You don't need to upgrade to Magento 2.3 version.

You can directly upgrade from Magento 2.2.3 to the latest Magento 2.4.1 version.

Please run belove commands to upgrade from Magento 2.2 to Magento 2.4.1:

composer require magento/composer-root-update-plugin=~1.0 --no-update
composer update --ignore-platform-reqs
cp composer.json composer.json.bak
composer remove magento/product-enterprise-edition --no-update
composer require magento/product-enterprise-edition 2.4.1 --no-update
composer update --ignore-platform-reqs

I hope it helps.

No, it is not advisable to upgrade from 2.3 to 2.4.1.

As you have currently version 2.2.3 running so, you

can directly upgrade from Magento 2.2.3 to the latest

Magento 2.4.1 version.

Hi, @federico_falcone 
You never need to go with the middle version to move to the latest version. Here I am sharing some of the commands to migrate from 2.2.3 to 2.4.1 easily. I recommend you to always make backup properly before starting the upgrade.
https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.4/comp-mgr/cli/cli-upgrade.html
Above link is going to help you more

bin/magento maintenance:enable
composer require magento/composer-root-update-plugin=~1.0 --no-update
composer update
composer require magento/product-community-edition=2.4.1 --no-update
composer update
rm -rf var/cache/*
rm -rf var/page_cache/*
rm -rf generated/code/*
bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento maintenance:disable
service varnish restart

Clear the following directories:
var/cache/
var/page_cache/
generated/code/

properly use the above commands it will upgrade your magento 2 site.

please accept as an answer if it helps

Thanks

Hi,

how did you manage to solve the upgrade?

I am preparing something similar from 2.2 to 2.4.3 so I am try to understand the challenges

Could you elaborate how much time it took to Migrate - Approximately.

What about Extensions and other Customizations. Normally how long does a Migration Project take? 

How about the Database of Transactions?

Hi Federico,

excuse me but do you have try to uypdate magento from 2.2 to 2.4?
how did you do with the php version?

I have a problem: after the composer require and the update magento asks me to update the php.
but if i upgrade the php the magento upgrade will no longer work because technically i'm still on magento 2.2 which only works up to php 7.1 and i don't know how to go on
