Is there any specific upgrade path to follow?
Are there any caveats in directly upgrading it from 8.x to 10.x?
PS: We are using a 2GB/2core DO droplet with ubuntu 14.04, psql=V9.5
Also how to find if we are using omnibus installer ? (Need to find how previous admin insatlled it)
Is there any specific upgrade path to follow?
The official recommendation is not to skip major versions. That is follow something like 8.x => 9.x => 10.x. Check out Upgrade GitLab by using the GitLab package | GitLab for details.

Yes. There are some deprecated configurations and version changes in that path. Check Upgrade GitLab by using the GitLab package | GitLab

The recommended RAM is 4GB (including swap). Please check Installation system requirements | GitLab for specifics. Also, you will need to upgrade PostgreSQL to version 9.6. Version 9.5 is no longer supported (as a matter of fact, version 10 is also not supported yet. So bump to 9.6.x)
Also how to find if we are using omnibus installer ? (Need to find how previous admin insatlled it)
See if the package gitlab-ce or gitlab-ee have been installed. Those are omnibus based packages. (You can also check if there is a command gitlab-ctl available. Source installations will not have it)
