I attempted to duplicate the problem you're describing with the current releases of the plugins, since almost all of the plugins in your list have one or more pending upgrades.  I was unable to duplicate the problem as described.  Here are the steps that I took while trying to duplicate the problem with current plugins:

1.  Create a plugins.txt file that lists all the plugins I've installed, including Pipeline, blue ocean, git, and more. The list of installed plugins includes the latest version of all the plugins that you listed
2. Create a run-jenkins.sh shell script that downloads Jenkins 2.440.3 and all the plugins from the plugins.txt file
3. Run the run-jenkins.sh shell script and complete the setup wizard by creating a user and choosing to install no additional plugins
4. Create a job with the Pipeline definition as noted in job-config.xml
5. Run the job and confirm that selecting from the Pipeline stage view I am able to continue the job

The Pipeline script that I used is like this:

pipeline {
    agent none

    stages {
        stage('Hello') {
            steps {
                echo 'Hello World'
            }
        }
        stage('Pause-for-input') {
            steps {
                script {
                    scanType = input message: 'Choose one', ok: 'Proceed', 
                                        parameters: [choice(name: 'Type', choices: ['Full', 'Part', 'None'])]
                    echo "Selected scan type is ${scanType}"
                }
            }
        }
        stage('Goodbye') {
            steps {
                echo 'Goodbye World'
            }
        }
    }
}

Does your scenario also fail when you upgrade to the latest releases of all the plugins?

After upgrading to the most recent releases of all the plugins, please provide the detailed list of all the installed plugins as described in "How to report an issue".

Thank you for you time.

That's great to hear. Thanks! It is a common practice and a good practice to upgrade all plugins immediately before a Jenkins controller upgrade and then to again upgrade all plugins immediately after a controller upgrade. That gives you the best chance of running recent plugin versions and running plugin versions that have been tested with the Jenkins release that you installed.
