the only way I know to pre-fetch plug-ins is:  
go plug-in by plug-in looking for the latest,  
or  
build a sandbox server and load in all those plug-ins, make an archive file of the \<JENKINS\_HOME\>/plugins folder and send that to your target machine

When I made a similar core upgrade, upgrade everything to “highest compatible” at the current core version. Upgrade the Core Jenkins to 2.426.3. then go back in and upgrade the plug ins again… This is a great time to weed the garden too, of plugins that are deprecated, unsupported, or not needed. I definitely weeded for a while, deactivating plugins for a few months before deleting them entirely.

Stability of the plug ins isn’t really necessary at startup. In my experienced the AD authentication was an exception, but even that can be worked around with some research and server access.

The Plugin UI with the more recent Cores is much better than 2.346, both in installing, rollbacks, and deactivate/reactivate.

One thing to consider is that the update site from jenkins only serves information for LTS version that are not older than about 1 year. At the moment the oldest LTS is 2.387.1  
So in case you look in the UI of an older Jenkins it might tell you that there are plugins which are not compatible with your Jenkins.
