Depending on the size and criticality of your application it's maybe worth considering rewriting it on a fresh & latest PEGA version.
From PEGA 8.6 to latest version it's already a challenge with all technical changes & constraints so from 5.3 upgrading might be a bigger nightmare than starting from scratch :)

@MarkChristianMI kind of agree with @Anthony_Gourtay, re-writing the application on the latest version is better than upgrading to latest version. There will always be a backlog when you upgrade from such an old version and you will never be able to fill the gap.
