It would probably be a good idea to do a practice run on a non-critical machine first. make installworld is reckoned to be safer in single user mode, but I've found I can generally get away without this. I have to upgrade machines remotely from time to time, so single user mode is awkward. I always make sure however that I have someone near the machine on call in case something goes wrong. If something does go wrong, you've always got your backups. You should also have practiced restoring from backup on a non-critical machine, and if you might have to instruct someone remotely for part of all of this procedure, then you'd better know the process well enough for that.
