Its fine to upgrade a pool in multi user mode as it is with most things zfs.
However beware when up upgrade a pool as once you have you cant go back, and
if you want the revert to your previous install you wont be able to.
Therefore a general rule of thumb is unless you need a new feature on a new
pool version dont upgrade it. A least wait a few weeks until your new
install is fully bedded in and tested
