CephFS can generate a problem rados workload too when files are deleted or truncated. If that isn't happening in your workload then you're probably fine. If deletes are mixed in, then you might consider pausing IO for the upgrade. FWIW, if you have been running 12.2.5 for a while and haven't encountered the OSD FileStore crashes with src/os/filestore/FileStore.cc: 5524: FAILED assert(0 == "ERROR: source must exist") but have had OSDs go up/down then you are probably okay.
