It all depends on customer requirements and use-cases.

Some plugin might bring in additional feature etc which customer don't want now, so it's not like you need to update all.

Discuss with your customer, check the release notes for that plugin and then update

There are some scripts floating around that can update everything at once and I know of a Store App that is currently in certification phase that can also handle this better, but ServiceNow (OOB) only lets you update one at a time (although you can schedule them all). This is the safest way, since there could be dependencies between apps and missing any, could cause issues.

Plugin/app updates should be part of the platform maintenance so you never get this many to update. Many companies don't do that, resulting in hundreds of updates. 

Upgrading could help as well, because the apps will be updated automatically to the supported version.
