I've done major upgrades to remote Pi's and while it was a bit of a 
squeaky bottom time, they all worked and came back up with the new OS.

Ironically it was a minor update to one of my remote Pi's which resulted 
it not coming back on the VPN. I had to then drive an hour to sort it 
out, and found it had just hung on rebooting, as can occasionally 
happen, and was fine after a power cycle.

Using an internet connected switched socket would have fixed that 
without having to be there, but I still haven't got around to buying one.
