The unfortunate experience from RexPGP aside, yes, you can upgrade directly from 7.2 to 7.4; there is no need to stop in at 7.3.

Stick with 7.3r7. Two times I rolled to 7.4x code and both times my active sync connections went from 2000 constant concurrent to 500. My phones were spinning trying to connecty. JTAC states the VPN is fine.

2013-0807-0485 7.4r4

2013-0520-0329: Active-Sync connection drop with 7.4R3.
