Never mentioned if 13 or 15, I'm using a late 2013 15", still almost as smooth as the day i bought it. You're...worrying too much...

The theory is, according to some, that Apple inadvertently sometimes makes devices slow with software updates and some people then have to upgrade. Happened to iphones in the past i think.
I have essentially the same machine - late 2013 13" MBP. 2.4GHz i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD.
Running MacOS Sierra. Runs great. No issues.
I have a mid-2011 13" MBA. 1.7GHz i5, 4GB RAM, 256GB SATA SSD.
Sierra runs like a champ for me. I'd say faster than El Capitan as well.
Worst comes to worst, you can always TM backup your Mac, throw Sierra on it, and if you don't like it, go back to El Capitan and restore from that TM backup.

Only you can decide.
I wanted the new features (iCloud desktop/documents, Siri, Apple Watch unlock, etc.). Working perfectly. I made sure all the applications I use were fully supported with Sierra.
We can't guarantee you wont have some kind of issue weird, but I've been 100% satisfied.
It's fine...why would a 3 year old computer not run a modern OS...it's not smart phones were talking about.
I also have to say this for my MBA. It actually runs better with Sierra than it did with Lion, and it came with Lion OOB.

No. Apple doesn't "make devices slow with software updates."
Newer software is more demanding than older software. Older hardware sometimes can't perform the task as well as newer, faster hardware.
It's fine. Sierra, so far, seems to just be a bit of polish to El Cap.
