Can I use a higher version of the spring-boot-maven-plugin to package the lower version of the spring-boot applications ?

What are the benefits of using a higher version of the spring-boot-maven-plugin ?

No. You should not mix versions of Spring Boot modules. The version of the plugin controls, among other things, the version of the launcher code that's added to a fat jar.
