NB: "replace" means "unlink the old one and create the new one with the same name", e.g. using "mv". Overwriting the old file with new data is different and in the case of executables or libraries will almost certainly cause problems.
Which is why rpm does not install each file from each package simply be creating this file and writing it out. rpm always creates the file with a temporary name, and renames it once it finished writing and closing it.
In short, there is no valid, technical, fundamental reason why a dnf upgrade should leave the system in an unstable state, or somehow interfere with any running daemon; and why a running daemon has to intentionally go out of its way to frak things up if it was upgraded while it was running.
