Will indices created on ES2 and upgraded to ES5 be able to be upgraded by ES6?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

The title basically. We have indices created on ES2 that were upgraded in-place by ES5 when we bumped the version. Would these be able to be read and upgraded by ES6 or will we need to reindex?

You will have to reindex. I just did it while testing 6.0.0-alpha1.

In 5.4, I used the _reindex API to reindex my old .kibana index then I was able to start 6.0.
