I personally never do upright rows and very rarely use it with clients. Not so much because of the injury potential but because that exercises isn’t better than any other exercise at doing anything. I’m not saying that it doesn’t work, but that I have better tools for what the upright row can give.
DB lateral raises I use more often with clients, especially with bodybuilders and figure athletes. I even do a whole workout of various “shoulder raises” with a high level olympic lifter I work with, to prevent shoulder issues.
