Is upsizeing to a new mortgage a good choice?

Hi there, newbie here! :D

We planning on moving from our first house with my wife.
In the last 6 years our initial capital of 10k grown to (hopefully) around 50k once we sold the house. This is due to the fact that we choose a shorter time mortgage, with higher monthly payments as an investment, also the house price went up, and done some renovation as well.
We want to move to a new house, and we'd like to stretch our limits. We checked, and we can go up to 350k on a new home (which would be our long term dream home), and we could accommodate the monthly payments as well.

Would it be a reasonable idea to do, to max out out our mortgage limits?
