It depends what you mean by 'does not work very well' ...
Without knowing what the problem is, it would be hard to say if a newer
version may fix whatever the issue is

As said elsewhere in this thread, there isn't currently an EPEL
maintainer for Mate, so you will have to look elsewhere
I did come across
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/raveit65/Mate-GTK3/ a short
while ago when I was looking for a possible 'update path' - but never
got round to trying it out ...
I guess that if unless 'someone' takes on the maintainer role for
Mate at EPEL, then there will be no upgrade path
