I installed mercury-browser_121.0.1_amd64.deb but since then there has been no amd64 releases, excuse my ignorance but should I be updating or can I update with one of the other alternative .deb versions?

All deb packages are for amd64 (except the one with ARM64 in its name). You have to choose the package that has the most recent available instruction set for your CPU.
To get all available instruction sets on your CPU, run cat /proc/cpuinfo on the terminal and look at the flags section.
Here is the list of flags you're looking for:
SSE3: ssse3
SSE4: sse4_2
AVX: avx
AVX2: avx2
If the list of flags is too long, you can filter it with grep -m 1. For example, to check if your CPU supports AVX2, use cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -m 1 avx2. If you see no output, it's not supported.
This list is ordered from oldest to most recent instruction set. For example, if you CPU supports SSE3, SSE4 and AVX, install the AVX package. Unless your computer is incredibly old, it should at the very least support SSE4.2. If your computer is fairly recent (2015 or more recent), there's a fair chance it supports AVX2.
