Upgrading a ZFS pool itself shouldn’t make a system unbootable even if an rpool (root pool) exists on it.
That could only happen if the upgrade took a shit during a power outage or something like that. The upgrade itself usually only takes a few seconds from the command line.
If it makes you feel better I upgraded mine with an rpool on it and it was painless. I do have a everything backed up tho so I rarely worry. However ai understand being hesitant.

I’m referring to this.
Unless I’m misunderstanding the guidance.

It looks like you are using legacy bios. mine is using uefi with a zfs rpool
However, like with everything a method always exists to get it done. Or not if you are concerned.
If you are interested it would look like…
Pool Upgrade
sudo zpool upgrade <pool_name>
Confirm Upgrade
Refresh boot config
Confirm Boot configuration
cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg
You are looking for directives like this to see if they are indeed pointing at your existing rpool
root=ZFS=rpool/ROOT/pve-1 boot=zfs quiet
here is my file if it helps you compare…
You can see the lines by the linux sections.

Thanks I may give it a try if I’m feeling daring.
