Yes, it can.  I've done it several times on D-O- (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS to
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS).  Use Digital Ocean's dist-upgrade and distro-upgrade docs and you should
be okay.  Take your time, there's no rush.

Just be sure to back up your tor config file and contents of /var/lib/tor, just in case
something goes pear-shaped.
