Patching hosts in View environment

What is the best way to keep hosts patched in a view environment?

I’m running View 6.2 on hosts at 6.0 U1a.   Looking at the in Product Interoperability Matrix, the max esxi version that supports View 6.2 is esxi 6.2 U2. 

Installing all critical patches on the host using update manager will supersede the supported version of esxi, which I obviously can’t do and I’m trying not to have to inspect all patch information to see which build each patch\fix will take esxi to.   There must be an easier way, right?

Any pointers appreciated.
