We have around 1k Macs ranging from 10.10 - 10.15 that we would like to update to the newest possible version. We would like to do this as hands off as possible. Preferably after hours with no impact to the end-user. Can we do this with Jamf?

Sure can. macOSUpgradecan help - it's written by someone from Jamf Professional Services. Why it's not baked into the product, I will never understand, but... I've used this for 10.12->10.13, 10.13->10.14, and 10.14-10.15 upgrades. Works great. The most difficult part will probably be the smart group scoping of hardware to make sure you don't try to install a newer OS on a Mac that can't run it (the installer will fail, but).... and caching the appropriate installer on client endpoints.

I noticed that Patch Management has macOS in it's Software Titles list. Does that work? Is there a difference in what it can do vs your link?
