I snapshotted my server and tried to upgrade it to 16.04, and then 18.04 but ran into some issues where it seems through the upgrades I lost some of my configuration files. When prompted by Ubuntu through the upgrades I chose to keep the local versions but I guess it didn't ask about those configuration files.

Generally you should look at the diff in these cases as it may be you
had modified the original file and want to retain those mods. However
you should not just retain your original as there may be new stuff in
the new version that you need. Having looked at the diffs you can
either use the new one, or apply your mods to the new one.

However you say the missing files are not ones you were asked about.
Can you give examples of those?
